8 Inch Hand-Turned Vintage Wood Bowl

Warm honey-amber wooden bowl with a smooth rounded profile and attractive ribbon grain. Nicely turned with a shallow form ideal for nuts, fruit (with a liner), keys, or a tabletop centerpiece. Unmarked; the color and grain are consistent with Oregon myrtlewood (also called California bay laurel), a popular Pacific Northwest souvenir wood, though exact species is not guaranteed.
