A thin-walled natural-rimmed bowl, turned from a crotch section of black walnut.
 
Rich crotch figure runs across the bowl bottom while the rim follows the natural shape of the log exterior. I burnished the rim using an antique gold gilders wax, which warmed the look of the entire piece. 
 
A delicate piece that will sit well in the kitchen as a light duty service bowl or on a side table near the fire, where it will become a focal launching point for wherever your musings take you. Would also make a wonderful surround for a votive candle.
