The wood species is black limba

The starting block was a bit under 2” thick

I carved it using an angle grinder and dremel

Lots of sanding

I dont think a bowl is supposed to have holes in it.

This is also remarkably similar to a vintage tractor seat—and I don’t know why but I love that.

Unsure how much soup that will hold.

Nice. Last Winter I lost a Monstera that I raised for three years from a cut off limb to a 4' tall plant... all due to the multi-day freeze we had.

I still weep for my orphan friend.

I’m very sorry to hear that. It’s such a beautiful plant. I hope you can get another offcut and start anew!

Black limba is really pretty. Expensive though. I made a carved sign with it once.

Also, FU auto correct for changing "limba" to "Limbaugh" at first.

Sir. I need to point out that your bowl has holes in it. You may have accidentally made a strainer.

Normally they just spawn in when you get old in your bowls. Amazon also sells them though these days.

I have some concerns about your bowl's soup holding abilities. Maybe a thick stew would be more appropriate.
