Walnut Salad
Bowls
I recently acquired a very large walnut
tree. This beautiful wood can be turned into salad bowls
from 6” to 15”. A salad bowl set is a gift that would be
valued for many generations. You will be hard-pressed to
find larger, solid wood bowls at these prices.

This
walnut tree was 35 inches at the base. It will produce 1000
bowls and probably more. The photo below this one shows a
few of the rough-turned bowl blanks that are drying and
waiting to be finished. This wood will make excellent Salad
Bowls. I have many that approach 16 inches in diameter and
5 inches high. This size is really hard to find. |
|

Bowl blanks are normally turned when the wood is heavy with
moisture, then left to dry over 5 or 6 months. They will
move and warp….. then are re-turned on the lathe, made round
again and a finish is applied.
Prices will vary

Small Walnut
Pot
These 3 pieces were turned when the wood was still full of
moisture. They are fairly thin and have “moved” as the wood
dried. Each has its own character …….covered in bumps and
wrinkles from the drying process. My poor photographic
skills do not do justice to these small pots. The largest
is 4” in diameter and 3 ½” tall.
$40 - $45 - $50 or $125 for the Set of

Small Walnut Pot 1 - $40.00

Small Walnut Pot 3 $50.00

Maple
Burl 1
5 ¾” x 4 ¼” tall: I acquired a slab of
maple about 10 years ago that had amazing grain. Most of
this wood went to friends or relatives as gifts. This bowl
represents the last few pieces of that plank.
$180

Elm
Closed Form
The size of this closed form is 8”
x 8”. It is Elm with a reversible Blackwood/Deer Horn
finial. It would be a very nice display piece for mantel
or China Hutch. The grain pattern is very distinctive.
$250

Weed
Pots
Weed pots or “bud vases” are a
great way to display a nice piece of wood. Only a hole is
drilled down the center for showing dried flowers. Call for
sizes, types of wood and learn how reasonably priced they
are. |
