This is a custom hand crafted umeke style bowl with that was turned by Valerie from a piece of maple. Iridescent paint has been added for beauty and character. The turning has a lacquer finish and was buffed with a coat of carnauba wax to give many years of enjoyment. The finish is food safe.
As artists, our primary goal is to discover and reveal the beautiful grains and colors that God has hidden in so many different trees. We accomplish this by creating one-of-a-kind handcrafted turnings of visual and functional art made from both domestic and exotic woods. We focus our energy on creating bowls, platters, hollow forms and pendants.
