Wood from Salem, MA

I love the curve on this bowl, creating the shape of the bowl is one of the first things I do when sculpting the piece. This bowl has a long flowing soft curve. It also has a partial natural edge and partial straight edge. The straight edge has been ebonized. The bowl was sanded to a very high grit and has a finish that makes it smooth to the touch with a soft shine.
