10” X 4” Teakwood bowl

Nice Leo! Really like the grain structure of teak and the heftier lip goes well with the overall form.

Sorry I didn’t answer your reply Dok, as there seems to be nothing on the forum lately, but for some Chinese cast iron , it is getting to be a bit much, oh again sorry , thank you for your comment on my Teakwood bowl 1thumb.gif

It's a lovely piece Leo...wonderful symmetry. May I ask where you source your teak from? thanks...John

Thanks John , I don’t know where one would be able to get bigger size Teak lumber/bowl blanks, I got some from a specialty wood seller in Ottawa last year, but it was just barely 2” thick what they had, and that was a long plank where I got a piece from, so I could turn two legs for a piece of Danish furniture.

This piece I found at a garage sale where a widow was selling her late husbands leftover woodworking material, I got just lucky that no one else knew what kind of wood it was .
