Lignum Vitae Bowl

I love this little bowl / chalice! It is very heavy for it's size weighing in at almost 7 ounces (or 195 grams) yet it is only 3 inches tall and 3 1/8 inches wide at the opening.

It sits on a tiny little base that is only about 1/16 inch tall and 1 inch wide.

The Lignum Vitae wood is a pale yellow color with great figure and several knot areas that have made interesting patterns in the finished piece. The bowl also has a little hole that passes all the way through one side of the bowl that was a natural fissure in the wood.

Found Wood Bowl

This bowl was turned out of "FOG" or Found on Ground wood that was saved from the fireplace. The bowl is full of natural grain and color that will make it a treasured piece of art in your home.

The bowl has been finished with polyurethane and then buffed with a final coat of carnauba wax. The wax makes it ok for occasional food contact, but the nature of the piece makes it more suited for display.

Measures 5 1/2 inches height and 6 3/4 inches in diameter and is signed on the bottom by the artist.
