diameter: 8 1/2"
height: 2 1/2"
shipping weight: 2lb 10oz (when asking about shipping costs, please don't forget to give me your zip code)
finish: one application of natural stain then 3 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker) topped by 2 coats of clear flat enamel to take the shine off.
COMMENTS: Excellent woods throughout this one and most of them are relatively heavy species, giving the bowl quite a nice heft. The inside rim has several nice omega curves. The curupay at the bottom has the best streaking of any I've encountered in my admittedly limited experience with that wood; also, it is chatoyant and the two combined make it, to my mind, an outstandingly beautiful wood. The purpleheart at the upper right is both lightly curly and lightly chatoyant
The billy webb wood a the upper right is very highly chatoyant and even the flat finish does not subdue it too much.
I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... <nothing to report on this bowl>
