A Silver Birch bowl with dolomite and volcanic sand inlay.
 
The silver birch for this bowl was sourced from a local park, where it was felled for clearing.
 
It was rough turned and allowed to dry over months. Once dry it was re-turned to its final shape, sanded and finished with a food safe danish oil. The rim detail is an inlay of Volcanic black and dolomite white sand.
 
The bowl measures 183mm x 63mm
 
Well suited as a small snacks/fruit bowl or decorative centrepiece.
 
Being a natural material, it is still susceptible to movement with change in temperature and humidity. Clean with a damp cloth and dry immediately. Do not immerse in water.
 
While this bowl has been finished with a food safe danish oil, it would benifit from a polish from time to time. My homemade food safe rejuvenating wax for this bowl (or any wooden utensils) is available here.
