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.

Purpleheart Bowl - Oh, and Don't Forget the Bloodwood, Maple, and Walnut

This set was made for a custom order. A customer, originally from Guyana where the people are known for their craftsmanship with purpleheart, was looking for a purpleheart bowl. her Father had promised her one but had passed away before he could get it for her. She had google-searched for a purpleheart bowl, and saw my segmented bowls. She wanted a fuller shape, but the same woods. To emphasize purpleheart, each has a purpleheart base whereas the other set alternates.
The large bowl is 6" high and 10" in diameter. The smaller bowl is 3" high and 8" in diameter.

Price for the set: $450.00

Square Turned Bowl - Maple

One of these bowls is not like the other...one of these bowls just isn't the same...

This Square Turned Bowl is made, i think with maple. It turned very nicely. Its closed-grain nature finishes smooth and shiny, it's hard, and it cuts cleanly. The dimensions are 7" wide x 2" tall.

I don't usually include views of the bowl from the bottom, but you just don't get the full effect of this one without the bottom view. It's a bit treacherous to make, with sharp corners whirring at 850 or 1250 RPM to bang up your fingers, and takes a lot of care, but the effect is way cool.

Price for a bowl like this: diameter x height x $1.50, plus wood. In this case, about $30 total.
