video for bowl C166



C166 --- $SOLD

diameter: 9"
height: 2 1/2"
shipping weight: 2lb 6oz (when asking about shipping costs, please don't forget to give me your zip code)

finish: one application of natural stain then 3 coats of high gloss spar polyurethane (with UV blocker)

COMMENTS: The inner rim is sloped slightly, not flat and the color varieties in the middle are really pretty. The silky oak on the inner left rim is outstanding, having been cut just right to show the long ray flakes that silky oak is capable of (you'll notice that those on the bottom are tiny). The sipo in the middle has a VERY attractive grain pattern.

I ALWAYS POINT OUT ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE COMMENTED ON. THESE ARE (UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED) THINGS THAT DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE BOWL, BUT I WANT TO BE SURE I GIVE A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION. SO ... the longhi in view 6 has a very noticeable internal crack that did not show up until I turned down to that level of the piece. Unfortunate, but wood is like that sometimes

LATER: A very noticeable crack has appeared in the veneer lamination at the inner bottom. A stress separation has occurred along the left and top of the middle. This is not visible but you can feel it and if you angle the bowl JUST right with the bowl held up to the light you can see through the crack. This does not detract at all from the bowl's visual appeal but that combined with the lower crack have reduced the price on this one to damn near a give-away.
