Bowl 14


White pine salad bowl. Finished with olive oil. Measures 12.75x 4 inches.

Bowl 13


Cottonwood salad bowl with olive oil finish, light and measures 13x 3 inches. Front and back have the blue color.

Bowl 12


This is hackberry. It is from the Wardlaw's and was collected from the ice storm in 07. Measures 8.5x 3 inches.

Color and grain is wonderful!

Bowl 11


This is local walnut. Nice grain and smooth but has a crack which adds character. Measures 6.75x 2.5 inches.

Bowl 10


This is fishtail oak. A special wood given to Bill for whatever. Many bowls take shape in the mind and then in the wood. Nice specialty dish 6.75x 1.75 inches.

Bowl 8


This is one of the biggest bowls...Thanks to B'ville compost boys. They keep Bill in mind when the big logs come in. This is white pine bowl 13.25x 5.25 inches. It was turned green which is a quick process on the lathe but then the bowl dries warps and becomes a shape with character.

Finished with olive oil for salad bowl use.
