This bowl is made from Albizia Lebbeck, also called "Woman's Tongue". This is the only piece of this wood species I have ever had. It has beautiful tight grain with a natural chatoyance or luster. The bowl has been turned with a natural edge that follows the grain of the wood. It has been finished with a hand-rubbed oil finish and polished to a medium gloss. 5" high x 10 1/2" diameter. (Sold)
