T-070 - Calabash Bowl - SOLD
- SOLD
9″ x 4″ White ash $90.
Temple Blackwood, Castine Maine The original calabash bowls were painstakingly made from the fruit gourd of the calabash tree found in the Pacific, Caribbean, Indian Ocean islands, and in Africa. In Hawaii they were reserved for royalty until the late 1800s. Modern calabash bowls are turned with the same round bottoms and sides. Done well they will rock a bit on a hard surface but not tip. Traditionally they would nest nicely on the ground. This one is turned from a large fallen white ash in Castine, Maine, a good size for salad for two or three, or some other serving. Finished with walnut oil.
Cost each: $90.00
Unit size: One of a kind
