Manzanita wood bowl, twisted root bowl, irregular wooden bowl , 12.2 inches long x 8.5 wide, 5.5 tall, one of a kind, asymmetric, 455-A

This unique, twisted, one of a kind, indescribable legged bowl has beautiful manzanita grain patterns. Not only is it ready to hold interesting small items, it looks like it is ready to run away with them (but it won't). It measures 12.2 inches long x 8.5 inches wide, 5.5 inches tall, and weighs 1.2 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. 

Tree Description:
This wood is rarely found large enough to make a bowl or sculpture, but when it is, you can have a truly unique art piece.
Greenleaf Manzanita (Arctostaphylos patula, Ericaceae [heath, heather family]).
I like this wood for carving, sculptures, and containers because of it's grain and overall beauty. This wood is of medium strength, good for canes, hiking sticks, and staffs that are not subjected to extra tough use or above average weight.
It is one of the most widespread of the manzanitas, spanning most of western North America. Its northern edge is in Washington state, eastern edge in Colorado, western edge the North American coast, and southernmost edge in Baja California, Mexico. It spans in elevation from about 1,500 to 12,000 feet and can grow to 10 feet tall.
It is low to the ground with some of the lower branches rooting in the soil and others extending more outward than upward. The stems are twisting and reddish-brown in color, and shiny due to glandular secretion. The petioles may sometimes have clear-to-glandular hairs. The leaves are oval-shaped to nearly round, and flat, shiny, and smooth. They are about 6 centimeters long and four wide at maximum.
The plentiful flowers are white to pink and urn-shaped, each with five small lobes at the mouth of the corolla, hanging in bunches. The fruits are dark brown drupes nearly a centimeter wide, each containing about five hard-coated seeds that can be fused. Seeds are primarily dispersed by seed-caching mammals, and sometimes the fruits are consumed and dispersed by birds and medium-to-large mammals such as bears, coyotes, coatis, and foxes. Seeds require fire followed by cold conditions to germinate; seeds can remain dormant in soil for hundreds of years.

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.
