This bowl is made from a solid piece of Cherry wood. It's a raw bowl, which means it has been treated with mineral oil and wax and has no other finish on it. It has been professionally dried with no cracks or flaws. It's a beautiful representation of American craftsmanship. The piece measures 7" across and stands 2" tall and has a flat bottom unlike other raw bowls on the market today. It's the perfect size for an individual salad! Don't forget to order a larger salad serving bowl and some salad servers!
