The wood for this hard Oregon Bigleaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum) sculptured bowl grew as 30 inch diameter tree over 100 years old in the wilds of Western Oregon.  The bowl measures 2 inches Tall x 12.5 inches long x 9.5 inches wide, and weighs 1.37 lbs.  
This fine art piece is truly unique and will always generate warm smiles and appreciative comments.  I hope it becomes a treasured family heirloom.  
Care of your Valuable Art piece:    
1.  The beauty of your art piece will best be maintained by periodically gently removing dust with a very soft brush on a vacuum cleaner, and perhaps occasionally rejuvenating the finish with a very light coat of Howard Butcher Block (a tasteless and odorless mix of food grade mineral oil & natural waxes) or, if it won't be holding food, Howard’s Feed-N-Wax (a blend of beeswax, Brazilian carnauba wax, mineral oil, and orange oil).    
2. Your art piece should NOT be displayed in direct sunlight (no wood likes direct sun) because strong light will fade its rich colors.  
3. Display this treasure where it will be protected from chemicals and moisture.
