This is a beautiful Red Gum Eucalyptus natural edge bowl. It came from a truck load of firewood next to my truck in a local gas station. I filled up with gas and wood while visiting with the other truck owner. Wonderful as a salad bowl. 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.
