D-1256 Black Cherry Crotch Bowl
11.5"D X 2.5"H Bowl is turned from the junction of two portions of the trunk of the tree which is what provides the figure in the bowl. The base of this bowl consists of 3 separate legs that are carved at the bottom-the legs are part of the original turning and are not glued on separately. Additionally, some separation occurred during the drying process and the has been stopped with inlay of malachite as seen in the last photo. The finish is food safe so the bowl may be used if you wish but in view of the shallow depth, that may not be feasible. Should it be used as a serving dish, wooden utensils are recommended to avoid damage to the finish. If the bowl needs to be washed, it may be washed in warm soapy water, rinsed, dried and stored.
