This winged bowl was turned from black walnut (Juglans nigra). The wings of this particular piece form a graceful arch that suspends the bowl above the surface that it sits on. The bowl has been turned both above and below the wings, giving the illusion that the wings and bowl were turned separately and joined together, but they were actually turned at once from the same piece of wood. One wing features a crack that has been filled with copper epoxy and re-enforced with two curly ash butterfly patches that extend through the thickness of the wing. Finished with Danish oil and buffed to a pleasant sheen, the bowl feels even better than it looks. Perfect as a decoration on its own, or put to work as a candy dish or key holder at your front door, this bowl will only get better with time.
