Ebonized Cherry - 12" Bowl/Bee's Oil Finish

The history of Ebony being used in carved furniture can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians. We have created a similar rich, lustrous look on our wooden bowls by using a process called “Ebonizing.” The ebonizing solution is made from two common products, vinegar, and steel wool. The steel wool is soaked overnight in a plastic container filled with vinegar, creating an “iron solution.” When this solution is applied to the bowl, it reacts immediately turning the Cherry into a rich black color. Ebonizing is a safe, easy way to create beautiful bowls with originality and character. The craftsmen turn this spectacular solid 12-inch Ebonized Cherry bowl at the Holland Bowl Mill, one of the last commercial wood bowl mills in production in the United States.
