This is a beautiful Iron Bark Eucalyptus natural edge bowl. It was made from a tree that was taken down for street repairs in Pleasant Hill, California in December 2009. The bowl can be used for serving salads, crackers, chips, nuts, wraped candy, and other such items. It is finished with a clear, food safe finish which also enhances and shows off the interesting character of the wood. Clean the bowl after each use with warm water and mild detergent. Wipe dry immediately.
