Bowls
Bowls come in all shapes and sizes and are made from virtually any available wood species. Generally, bowls are turned from bowl blanks specifically selected for size, figure and color/species. They can be functional (meaning used for serving food) or decorative (used for display.) Some bowls are embellished with edge treatments and inlays, while others are turned retaining a natural edge, or including a lid. The bowls pictured here are representative of some I have turned from urban lumber mostly from San Diego county.
In addition, segmented bowls are available. The segmented one shown here is approximately 13 inches in diameter and 7 inches in height. Segmented bowls can be fabricated and turned from virtually any wood species or combinations of species. Because they are made from segments of wood formed into rings which are stacked, glued and then turned on a lathe, these bowls can be made to any size and configuration desired.
At any given time, I have a small inventory of bowls that I have turned and have on display in my home/shop until they are purchased by a client. If you are interested in a turned or segmented bowl, contact me using the “request a quote” button and I will send you a photo of the existing inventory with a complete description, including species, height, diameter.
Price range: $50 to $300, depending on wood species, size and embellishments.
