August 20, 20214 yr Popular Post My sister has been wanting a large bowl to make salad in. Came across a piece of what I believe is Cherry. 23 inches of 9.75" by 3" thick. Yielded this bowl 9.50" and I got it 5.5" deep. I finished it using mineral spirits with paraffin wax melted in it. Rubbed it in while it was still hot and when it gelled up I got out the heat gun and kept melting it in to the wood. Gave it to her today with upkeep instructions. She loved it.

August 20, 20214 yr Nice work Dan! I think that rim will help gripping the bowl when passing the salad around the table.
August 20, 20214 yr Nice job and I like that rim. I have done a few like it because it reminds me of a bowl my grandmother used to hone her kitchen knives on. It was a pottery bowl with a glaze but she had worn the glaze off the rim where she sharpened.
