Small Spalted Maple Wood Bowl


 Here's a 4.25 inch diameter, 2.25 inch tall spalted Maple wood bowl. Light spalting on this one. Interesting "mackeral" pattern in some of the wood (most visible on rim). Also some nice chatoyance in the grain in a couple of places. "Chatoyance" is the glistening 3D looking grain one sees as the object is turned in the light. No beading or texturing on this one. This was wet sanded with mineral oil up to 400 grit, then oiled with orange oil. This gives the wood a very pleasant satin feel to the touch.
