This is another lovely Black Walnut bowl with a real flare and an interesting grain pattern. This tree was taken down by a homeowner in 2010 in Bethel Island, California. It may be used to serve salads, chips, crackers, and other such items. A walnut oil finish was used to help protect the wood's character. The bowl may be cleaned with warm water and mild detergent. Wipe dry immediately. It can be re-oiled with walnut oil (found in grocery stores) or mineral oil. Do not use vegetable oils as they turn rancid in time.
