This elegant bowl is turned from nice piece of white ash (Fraxinus americana) which is among the most durable North American hardwoods. This particular piece of wood features beautiful balanced grain patterns and some darker heartwood on opposite sides of the rim. The form itself is simple and understated, with an inward sloping and slightly undercut rim and a subtle reverse curve at the base, this bowl just feels to handle and looks good too. A coved foot lifts the bowl of the surface slightly while concentric rings and a textured flower on the bottom provide proof that it was turned, and not just sanded flat. Finished with food safe linseed oil to bring out the figure, the appearance of this bowl will only get better with time. Perfect for serving side dishes at the dinner table or popcorn on movie night.
