This medium-sized red oak bowl has a wealth of natural character including it's shifiting grain pattern, contrasting tones, prominent knot and beautiful spalting.  Thicker walls give it weight to let it sit confidently in your hands.  The wood was sourced from Lincoln County, AR after heavy winds toppled forest trees.  The bowl is finished in food grade mineral oil and beeswax.  It is slightly oblong in shape from natural distortion while drying and has a few small cracks that have been filled and are stable and which only add to the character.
