exotic red cedar wood bowl, live edge, beautiful grain, deep orange brown black, sculpted from wood buried ocean beach sand, 12", 567-A

This unique, rustic yet refined decorative, dark orange brown, red cedar wood catchall bowl is definitely one-of-a-kind. It incorporates much of the natural found-wood's irregular characteristics and has beautiful grain patterns. It is has a smooth satin finish and measures 12 inches x 8.75 x 5.5 tall, 1.45 lbs.
The wood for this amazing bowl came from a dead tree that was buried in the Pacific Ocean's coastal beach sand on the Oregon coast.
I hope this sculpture will always give you warm smiles and generate appreciative comments from your friends. My goal was to create an art piece worthy of becoming a treasured family heirloom.
… A smooth satin oil based varnish-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 tasteless and odorless mix of food grade mineral oil & natural waxes).
2. The wood for this sculpture was cured until it reached a moisture content similar to most homes. In some pieces, natural cracks have been filled and others have been incorporated into the sculpture's design. Occasionally, over time, more may form because additional drying can occur since residential and office humidity levels vary considerably.
3. Your art piece should NOT be displayed in direct sunlight (no wood likes direct sun) because strong light will fade its rich colors.
4. Display this treasure where it will be protected from chemicals and moisture.
