Bradford Pear Hollow Form

Description

This hollow form has some great curl in the wood that gives an undulating quality to the form and also creates a ripple effect on the surface.

The term Hollow Form describes a wooden vessel where the outer form is turned to a desired shape, and then the inside is hollowed out to creating a vessel with very thin walls. My Hollow Forms wall thickness range from 1/8" to 3/8” thick. For greater stability, I prefer leaving the wall thicker towards the base.

Wood Species: Bradford Pear from Central Missouri

Measures 4" wide by 7" high.

Polyacrylic finish (water based gloss, durable, non-food grade finish).

Care: Wipe it with a damp cloth, do not submerse in water or place in dishwasher.

I never cut down a tree to turn bowls. Most of my wood is from local mulch sites or from trees that were damaged in storms.

All of my bowls are signed and numbered on the bottom.
