Please Note: Each bowl is unique and varies in color, grain, and weight. The one you received will not be the same as the picture. How nice to see the natural character in the bowl, while respecting the part of the life of a tree went into making it! Each Cospring wooden bowl is unique since it is a natural product and wood grain varies by year and the tree grows. The bowl is lathe-turned from ONE solid piece of hard wood, NOT from pressed and glued pieces. Each bowl is manual grinding and hand sealed with natural plant oily finish which is food safe. There are various wood grain and shades of grey, brown and red that really make the bowls unique. They are spectacularly beautiful though, and highly prized for their unique grain patter. The bowls would look great on a table or as a centerpiece. ATTENTION Hand wash with warm soapy water and air dry. Please avoid the wood products being kept in dishwasher, microwave oven, dryer or exposure under sunlight. Periodically wipe with a bit of olive oil, using a towel and wipe off the excess to restore the wood grain to its original beauty when it appears to be drying out. You will have years of enjoyment with proper care.
