Santa Barbara Design StudioWood Serving Bowl, Hand Carved Paulownia Wood Fruit Bowl / Wood Decor, 11.5" Large, Natural

This is a gorgeous bowl, and I'm so delighted to have it! It took a little while to get here, but arrived nicely packaged, and was well worth the wait. The size is large, but not too large. The color is lovely and reminds me of drift wood.I have provided a photo with my hand (which isn't too large) to help scale the size. The bowl was sanded nicely to make it pretty soft, and it holds quite a bit. I'm going to change out my decor inside from time to time, but to start I'm holding natural decorative balls, crystal wands, crystallized rocks, and stones that I've collected from all over the country including the Great Smokey Mountains, rivers in Alaska, Montana, and Hawaii, and on the desertess landscapes of Arizona. I'm happy to have a place to display a tiny portion of my collection. I will likely buy another bowl, to display shells that my family has amassed since moving to Florida two and a quarter years ago.I highly recommend these bowls!

It’s very natural wood. Kind of a rough finish (and unfinished) but exactly the look I was going for. If you’re looking for something smooth sanded and sealed/stained this probably isn’t the product for you.

Great looking, size and material

I did not even unwrap this bowl cuz the color was not enough contrast for my coffee table. It was a little too thick and shallow for my style too.It is very pretty and a good quality for this price point. For the right decor it l would be a beautiful piece.I just can’t seem to find the right tray. Think I need to go in another design direction for me, but do not hesitate to buy this if it suits your style.

Fits perfectly on my table to hold my keys.

This is a raw wood bowl with splinters made in China. I would NOT consider it a serving bowl unless you want your guests to injure themselves. If you are looking for an unfinished piece, this would work, but it is rather pricey for that as well. On the plus side, it is lightweight and large.

It is exactly what I wanted, the size, style, etc...I was just hoping it would have been a little darker. I rubbed oil on it and now it's the perfect color too. Great piece!
