Stunning centerpiece!

This bowl is exquisite and is a perfect centerpiece on the table as you enter my front door. The craftsmanship is remarkable and highlights the beauty of the grain. Love it!

Bought it as a Christmas gift for my wife. She adores it and is placed where everyone can see it. It has done everything from a decorative piece to candy bowl. Looks great and it's functional. Couldn't be happier with it.
