This bowl is made from quartersawn Bubinga. It measures 3.75 high X 11.25 in diameter. The base occupies 50% of the diameter, and the wall thickness is 9/16, so it is a very solid and stable bowl. The finish is Salad Bowl Finish with a topcoat of Town Talk Orange Wax. It could be used as a salad bowl, but I feel the wood is too pretty for that. It would probably work best as a fruit bowl to be placed at the center of a dining table. It features a textured band on the outside of the bowl, and a small bead on the inside top of the rim.
