Bowl 23 – African Sapele

A beautiful hand-crafted small wooden bowl made from African Sapele, a naturally large hardwood tree with a widespread growth range across Africa, aged for several years. When the ageing environment is just right, the process yields a beautiful straight grain throughout the wood. The wood was turned on a lathe to create the unique, beautiful-looking bowl and then finished with shellac and hand-polished with four coats of black bison clear polish to bring about the beautiful shiny look and smooth feel.
