Exotic Merbau Wood Bowl Turned Wooden Bowl no. 7742
Bowl number 7742 is a hand turned bowl made from Exotic Merbau. 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 5 3/4" across and is 1 7/8" high.
MERBAU - (Intsia spp) also known as Kwila and Ipil, and grow from East Africa to Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia;) and reach 130-200 feet tall and 4-5 feet diameter.
Heart wood has an orangish-brown color when freshly cut, which ages to a darker reddish-brown. Color between boards can be highly variable. There also might be small yellow mineral deposits found throughout the wood.
Common uses are flooring, furniture, musical instruments, turned objects, and other specialty wood items.
