Salad bowls are something I only make when I have access to suitably
large pieces of green wood. Unlike some of the bowls you will find in
stores, these are made from one solid piece of wood. Hauling and
handling the raw material is no easy matter, and not something I am
really geared up to do on a regular basis. So I don't always have salad
bowls for sale, and when I do they usually sell quickly from my gallery
during the summer and fall. So they don't usually make it to the website.
This year I actually have some salad bowls ready early. So, for all my
on-line customers I am going to make them available on my blog,
http://chipshop.blogspot.com. It's easier to post them here than on the
website. So for the next few weeks watch out for 'Salad bowl Sunday'!
Here is this week's offering:
http://chipshop.blogspot.com/2006/03/salad-bowl-sunday.html
It is turned from maple and finished with walnut oil, a kitchen-safe oil
which is non-toxic and easy to maintain with further applications of oil
or beeswax as needed. The rim pattern has been handcarved with a gouge.
The internal dimensions of this bowl are 12.5" diameter by 4.8" deep.
Externally it is 13.7" by 5.7".
It is currently available and costs CDN $165.00
