Bowl 52 – Figured Ash Wood – Large Size

A beautiful handcrafted large wooden bowl. Ash is a light coloured, smooth-grained hardwood that grows throughout the east coast and parts of Canada. With its typical straight grain and beige-to-light-brown hue, ash wood is a very attractive option for fine furniture. It is durable, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing, and absorbs wood stains well. Ash wood almost always has a straight grain, though the conditions the tree grows in will occasionally create unique patterns. For example, if it’s strained or succumbs to a pest, that can impact the appearance of the grain. This is referred to as “figured wood.” For this reason, you’ll sometimes see curly or birds eye grain, among others. The wood was turned on a lathe to create the unique, beautiful 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. The bowl has natural patterns. The pictures are of the actual item for sale… approximately 25.5cm in diameter and 6.5cm in height and 1.188kg in weight.
