Heavy, thick-walled natural edge bowl in Black Walnut.
Natural-edge bowls allow the rim to follow the curve of the outer surface of the tree -- in this case, with the bark removed. These swoopy, waney-edged bowls have rims like a roller coaster. An outward flowing ogee curve helps create an illusion that the bowl is actually oval, though if sliced horizontally through the middle, they'd be perfectly round.

| Lighter sap wood and darker heart wood create pleasing curves. Bark has been removed from the rim of the bowl. |

| Organic curves of sap wood and heart wood. |
 |
| Full curves and waney edge create a striking profile. |

| Reverse side shows thicker sapwood and careful balancing of high and low points. |
