Segmented Bowl Serving Set - Mahogany, Walnut, Maple

This segmented wood bowl serving set follows the same geometric design as another set I made but from three kinds of wood instead of four. I also went for shades of earth tones instead of the brightly contrasting reds and purples of the other set. This set is my favorite pieces of work to date. The dark wood is walnut, the light wood is maple, and the medium wood is African mahogany. They go together so nicely and complement the woods in almost any kitchen. The bowls were deliberately left a little thicker than my other sets - about 5/16" - so that they can take the stresses of daily use. The glue is waterproof, food-approved, and they're finished with mineral oil and beeswax for a totally food-safe, usable piece of art.

The larger bowl is about 6" high and 10" in diameter. Sold individually, it would be $121.00. The smaller bowls are 3" high and 8" in diameter. Sold individually, they would be $49.00. Ordered as a set, I'll part with it reluctantly for $200.00.

Wood Platter - African Mahogany

These platters were made by my Father, but my mom's out of room around the house for his work, so he's hoping I can move them for him, see, it's hard to justify our time in the shop if we don't have a place for the stuff we make...





Anyway, this first platter is 12.5" diameter and 2" high, and is available for $55.00.Click here to buy this item

African Mahogany is different from your usual mahogany used in furnitures and fine woodworking in the US. It's from a tree in the mahogany family called Khaya, and is an exotic and imported hardwood that is figured "broken grained". It is characterized by vertical bonds of varying luster and vessel markings in which the ribbon effect is intermittent. The heartwood varies from light to deep reddish-brown. Like American Mahogany, this timber is very durable and stable. Khaya species tend to be lighter in color, generally more of a salmon/pink in tint, but the color and density are affected by the specific conditions in the area of growth, so there are no absolutes It had a hayday in drum making, but was too expensive for that to continue.
