Camatillo Rosewood Bowl 7712
Bowl number 7712 is a hand turned bowl made from very rare Camatillo Rosewood. Each of my bowls are signed, numbered and dated (year). They are finished with a friction polish that's applied while still on the lathe.
This bowl measures approximately 3 5/8" across and is 1 3/8" high.
Camatillo Rosewood is a fantastic and highly sought after Rosewood. Colors vary from violet purple to reddish hues. This dense and naturally oily wood produces a glass-like natural polish. It is increasingly difficult to obtain high quality, colorful burl in this species.
It's seldom available as lumber or wide stock due to the rarity and small size of the tree itself.
Camatillo trees are quite rare, occurring at a ratio of only 1:50 compared with the local cocobolo trees (Western Mexico)
This wood cannot ship outside the USA.
