This ambrosia maple salad bowl features a pleasant hemi-spherical profile topped off with a simple, decorative band at the rim. The wood features several distinctive 'ambrosia' streaks on opposite sides of the rim, while the wood in the rest of the bowl shows some shimmer and curl that is common in soft maple. The top surface of the rim slopes invitingly towards the interior of the bowl, while a slight under cut ensure that the contents of bowl remain in the bowl when tossing salad. A coved foot lifts the bowl of the surface slightly while concentric grooves frame a textured flower on the bottom as serve as proof that bottom was turned with as much care and attention as the rest of the bowl. Finished with a food safe, linseed oil based finish and buffed to a satin sheen, this bowl is ready to go to work in your kitchen or hold decorative items on your mantel.
