A natural edge, open sided, spalted birch bowl.
It’s approximately 7 inches tall and 10 inches across.
The wood for this bowl came from a tree that a river birch tree that a friend planted when he built his house about 30 years ago. The tree died of old age. (As pretty as birch trees are, they are a front of forest tree that help the bigger trees get established.)
This cross grain bowl was turned from the intersection of two branches. (meaning the tree grew from left to right…or the top of the bowl would be facing you if you looked at the tree.) The black inky lines going throughout the bowl are from a fungus that lived in the heartwood at the end of the tree’s life. This is totally natural and something I try to really emphasize when I get a piece that has it.
The bowl is finished with a multi-layer process of tung oil, shellac, lacquer, and enamel.
This would be shipped insured and very protected. (duh...like I’d want it to arrive at your side broken…that’d make me very sad because I have a lot of work in this piece and want you to enjoy the final piece as much as I enjoyed making it.)
