This smalll shallow bowl is made from spalted apple, from a tree I cut down over 10 years ago. The spalting occurred because it wasn't kept in the dryest of places and a fungus invades the timber causing the lighter areas of wood, these are also softer and can make turning quite difficult. The fungus dies when the moisture content drops to low for them to sustain themselves. The fungas in this is dead. Measures 6.25 inches in diameter and 2 inches tall. 1034
