Oregon Myrtlewood Bowl, Enclosed

My son Matt made this (with my help) for Mom for Christmas. What at first looked like a somewhat bland piece of mystery wood my Dad gave me, turned out instead to be a very nice, pretty piece of Oregon Myrtlewood. Oregon Myrtlewood, also called California Laurelwood, is a hardwood with a wide variety of colors depending on the minerals in the soil where it is grown - from light tan to dark brown, olives and reds, and blacks from spalting. It is noted as one of the world's most beautiful woods. This bowl, and all my bowls, are finished with mineral oil and beeswax - the mineral oil brings out the natural colors, and the beeswax protects the wood and adds a satin sheen. It is food safe, washable, and ready to use.

The bowl is 5.5" diameter and 4" high. Price for a similar bowl: $55.00

This 6" wide, 3" deep Oregon Myrtlewood Bowl turned out great - the wood has some beautiful figuring, and I really like the smooth, round shape and thin walls. A bowl like this would be $35.00.

Price for 8"x4" Oregon Myrtlewood Bowl as shown: $75.00. For this particular bowl, however, because it's so spalted, it has a couple of hairline cracks, sealed of course, but perhaps not able to withstand washing and drying needed if used for food, so I'll sell it for replacement cost of the wood - $31.50 plus shipping. Email me if you're interested. Thanks!
