Description
I brought a piece of Purple heart wood from Surry timbers.
I turned this purple heartwood bowl from the blank.
I don’t often buy it from retailers such as this. Generally I use timber from fallen trees or that I have collected when I am in the countryside out and about. However, the colour of this wood is very eye catching and totally natural. I could not resist using it.
Purple heartwood is renowned for its durability and water resistance. The colour of the wood is 100% natural.
I wanted to turn it into a bowl. Because it is quite shallow I wanted it to look elegant.
The bowl has an external diameter of 190mm and an internal on of 170mm. It is approx 32mm deep inside and stands 45mm tall.
It is said to possess these abilities: In modern day pagan religions, purpleheart wood harbours important spiritual qualities. Many believe it enhances creative energy, knowledge, and assists in healing. It also may eliminate negative energies and tension in the home.
This is a decorative bowl and does not have a food safe or water proof finish.
This purple heartwood bowl will look amazing as a centre piece or with fruit piled up in it.
