Hand turned Camphor Burl Bowl. Large size with beautiful stunning figure. #67

Description

You are looking at a beautiful hand turned bowl made with fantastic CAMPHOR BURL BOWL. Camphor is a common wood known primarily for its oil. The Camphor oil can still be smelled even through the wax finish on the bowl. I used a uniquely turned shape to better show the
heavily figured bowl as well as the beautiful colors that you can find in only the rarest Camphor Burl Wood in the world
.
The bowl is
11
" diameter is 4" tall.
This is NOT a food safe item.
This type of dish makes a beautiful display item however, there is plenty of room inside to store a rings, change, small items or trinkets, or your favorite candy.
This bowl has been sanded to 600 grit, then coated with a Shellac and Carnauba Wax based water-resistant finish. Finally, the item is the buffed using a 3-step process. The first buffing is done using Tripoli to remove any fine scratches or tool marks, then White Diamond to start to bring out the shine, and then buffed with pure Carnauba wax which not only protects the item but also provides a deep gloss finish.
The pictures really do not do the wood justice, as the figure in the wood gives it a 3-dimensional look that you have to see to fully appreciate. You will be shipped the exact item that is shown and it has been signed and dated on the bottom.
I have been a woodworker for over 20 years, making everything from complete custom cabinetry, to bowls, boxes, and pens on the lathe.  However, due to health issues, I now only turn projects on the lathe in order to give myself something to do for the few hours a day I can stand. When you see pens or other items which have same name, or look the exact same, the chances are that they obtain their kits from the same sources that I use. Since I do not need to "make a living" at this, I can offer the same product, made with great precision, and generally offer it to you for a much lower price.
I have 100% positive feedback, and will always ship within 48 hours of payment using USPS Priority Mail.  SHIPPING IS FREE within the United States!  I will ship Internationally if the buyer will pay for shipping as well as insurance. The insurance will allow the item to be tracked all of the way to delivery. The standard USPS Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box does not track the item once it leaves the United States, so it is imperative that the insurance is purchased.
PLEASE DO NOT ASK ME TO SHIP THE ITEM AS A GIFT OR ALTER ANYTHING ON THE CUSTOMS FORM FOR ANY REASON. Your purchase will be canceled if you ask me to alter a customs form.
I accept and prefer PayPal for payment.  I will allow returns within the first 30 days of receipt. Just send me an email and I will issue a return.  All you have to do is pay for the return shipping.  If you have any questions or need additional photographs, please do not hesitate to ask.
