Description

This unique natural edge Black Walnut bowl is hand turned by Jim Parker, father of Jeff Parker, FEPS President. Bowl dimensions are 10" diameter, 3 1/2" tall.


Black walnut is highly prized for its dark-colored true heartwood. It is heavy and strong, yet easily split and worked. Walnut wood has historically been used for gunstocks, furniture, flooring, paddles, and a variety of other woodworking products.


What makes this bowl so unique and valuable? The natural wood edge!
