This is an 10 inch diameter Oak bowl made with stacked segmented rings of wood from an old piano. I think it's actually white oak but it's stained black with a very old method of staining oak. The stain is made from putting iron filings in vinegar and after a few days or weeks, strain out the metal and store the rest in a jar. Paint it on the Oak and it is almost instantly stained a deep black as the stain reacts with the tannin in the wood.
