Dish 8 – African Sapele

A beautiful hand crafted wooden dish with a narrow wall made from African Sapele, which is a large hardwood tree naturally that has a widespread growth range and has 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.  The diameter is approximately 20cm – the height is approximately 4cm – and the weight is approximately 344g.
