11" Calabash in Ash Bowl
The calabash, a type of gourd, also referes to the smooth, round bottom form of bowls or containers found in many parts of the world, most notably in Hawaii. This bowl would make a good food server.

I was a arborist for a long time before I took the new job Buff, my buddies still run the tree crew at the city so wood is never a issue.
Got them looking for burl wood now:).
