Chatoyance from across the room, as Douglass would say. I so love the grain of the mesquite on this small bowl – for mise-en-place, or a little (very little) ice-cream. Measures 1” deep, by a hair over 2 across. I think I’m going to make more of these small bowls for the kitchen, in increasing sizes. This one fits inside a 1/4 cup measure!
Sanded smooth, bathed in walnut oil, then buffed dry. (It will be a kitchen bowl, need a food safe finish after all.) Looks good enough to put up on a display shelf. I could, but I’m not going to, this puppy is gonna get some use. Richard Raffan would be proud.
... hmm… seems about the same size of the other small mesquite bowl and napkin ring. I wonder what look alike might be in the works…
This is the last project in my 30 projects in 30 days challenge Will I keep making more out of habit?....

Nice contrast of woods. The mesquite gives it a very rustic look. I like this project best, and congratulations on your completed 30 in 30. Super job Scott !

Very pretty little bowl. I applaud your decision to let it be used. I echo the congratulations for 30 in 30, I am struggling to do 2 a week to get ready for the Fall.
