This wooden bowl is made of exotic Canary wood, which I purchased from NC Woods here on eBay. The base is 5" dia. with a 1/16". The bowl edge stands up 1.75" and the texturing was undercut to allow a wall thickness of 3/16". Coated with sanding sealer and sanded to 600 grit and buffed with a very fine synthetic wool. Finish buffed with Carnauba wax using the Beal system inside and out.
