Aguacate Bowl (Wild Cottonwood collection)

Part of the Wild Cottonwood Collection, this medium-sized bowl is a play on traditional bark-up handled bowls. Ideal as a smaller-end fruit bowl, or serving or decorative bowl.  Named "Aguacate" because I once had the thought that it sort of looks like an avocado, and then couldn't unsee the image! Carved by hand from a locally sourced Cottonwood tree, it features a gouged texture on the outside, smoothed inside, and flat base. The outside was scorched with a flame torch until fully blackened, adding both aesthetic and protection. Finished in a food safe blend of true tung oil and thinned varnish for a timeless, subdued sheen quality. Please note that abrasive or multiple washings may eventually start to wear out the darkened wood. Dimensions 12 3/4" L x 6 1/2" W x 4 1/2" H Material Locally Sourced Cottonwood Finish Blend of true tung oil & thinned varnish (food safe)
