Cherry bowl

Two-toned cherry bowl with turquoise-colored inlay.  This striking bowl has a pronounced grain pattern that is tamed somewhat by the symmetrical inlaid rim.  Nevertheless, the strong character of the wood shows through. Wherever you place this bowl in your home, its high-energy will draw attention and comments.

As pictured, it would make a wonderful receptacle for jewelry, as well as for odd-and-ends, keys, etc.  Of course, it would make a wonderful decorative item on your coffee table, in your entry way, and on a bookshelf.  Anyone would be pleased to receive this as a gift.  Especially if it were filled with candies!

I finished the bowl with several coats of linseed oil.  The oil was applied and burnished by hand over the course of 3 days, then I repeated the process with a linseed oil and beeswax combination.  It was a lot of work but it provides a nice sheen, a warm touch, and some protection to the wood.  It was worth the effort.

It measures about 5-1/4" wide by 2" high.
