Item#6 Handmade Oak and Mahogany Bowl
Made especially for the benefit of HPJC by Pat Rickey who explained that he used wood glue to laminate pieces of red oak and mahogany from a Houston hardwood dealer to create a solid block. With his lathe he hand turned the block into this bowl. He smoothed the bowl surfaces then applied a special gloss varnish called salad bowl finish. This finish, when cured, provides a safe, food-contact surface and should not be affected by liquids in food, so long as it is hand cleaned and thoroughly dried after use.
