Exotic wabi sabi driftwood sculptured bowl, golden brown, irregular slanted shape, food safe, 10.5 inch wide x 7 x 7.5 tall, 2 lb. 5.8 oz.
… This art piece is brand new and was meticulously hand sculpted by me, even though some folks think my sculptures look a bit like antiques.
… Crafted from Pacific Ocean driftwood that had been tossed around in the surf for years. As needed, splits and cracks have been strengthened / sealed with epoxy, and a special wood bottom was added since the wood was hollow.
… … A smooth and glossy oil based shellac like finish protects this bowl's outside and a food safe odorless and tasteless mix of special oils and waxes protects the inside so it can hold and display anything but liquids or very moist items.

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 food grade blend of tasteless and odorless mineral oil & natural waxes.
2. Display this treasure where it will be protected from sun, chemicals, moisture, and damaging heat. No wood likes direct sun, because strong light fades rich colors.
3. If you have specific questions, I encourage you to message me via Etsy.
