This was made for someone who wanted a non-traditional serving bowl. I used a large hunk of maple that had been kicking around the shop forever. Because it was going to come into contact with food, I couldn’t use my typical Danish oil and wax finish. Instead, it was finished with multiple coats of pharmacy grade mineral oil. I’m not real thrilled with the wood or the finish, but do like the shape. Hopefully someday I will revisit this idea with nicer wood and a better finish.

I have been experimenting with odd-shaped bowls myself. I like it a lot—the wood the shape and all!

I use salad bowl finish on all my bowls. It gives it a mild shine. Of course you can buff it our to get it really shiny if that is what you are going for. As for the mineral oil, it will need to be re-applied depending on how much it is used. Love the bowl, I am always looking for new ideas. Thanks for sharing.
