i talked a while back about how i really like working on the lathe. but i didn't mention that now i have a bunch of wooden bowls of varying quality all over the house. and how many fruit bowls can one house handle? two at the most. and now that i've really started honing in my style and my technique, it is time to do a little spring cleaning.

so now is your chance to get a handmade bowl on the cheap!

first is this one: (note: dibs have been called)

locally milled urban soft maple with blue milkpaint interior and beeswax finish. this is a second for a couple of reasons: the exterior has some sanding flaws- not terrible, but not great either; the form is a little on the heavy side and not really my 'style.' note that the milkpaint is crackly. that's part of the charm. dated 2010.

then there's this one:

light walnut of unknown providence with beeswax finish. this is the first lidded vessel i have made and the form seems a little dated to me. the exterior bottom is less finished than i would like and there are some sanding flaws esp. on the lid. dated 2011.

either can be yours for $15. and if you live within the diamond shape formed by oakland, walnut creek, richmond and napa, i'll deliver. (if you don't live there, we can work out shipping). drop me a line!

if this works, expect more in the future. and remember, wooden vessels don't hold liquids.
