Wanting one of our BIG cup/hub sets, but can't justify the investment? This incredible yarn bowl is "perfectly imperfect" priced to sell at a $175 discount ​(see amazing spalted set #1202).

This XXXL Yarn Bowl was created from a rare specimen of pecan which produced a couple bowls with valued black line spalting (fine ink-like lines)! This piece of pecan did not spalt resulting in wood tone irregularities occurring during the curing/finishing process. For that reason this yarn bowl set is offered as "perfectly imperfect" with a deep discount.

Front and center is Bob’s signature shooting star groove, graceful, silky and functional. A whimsical star filled with bronze sparkle inlay echoes the groove on the back side. Adding to its functionality is a small raised base adds heft in the bottom of the bowl where needed for stability. A gentle east-west warp gives the bowl a graceful shape (oddly exaggerated in photos).

The rounded bottom, open bowl shape is perfect for most yarn projects with room to spare for project and tools when the work is set aside. Measurements are 12” diameter (top opening) x 4-1/2” (depth). Circumference is approx. 36” at the midpoint.

So versatile! Two medium balls of worsted, will roll nicely. Perfect for sock, mitten or scarf projects. Essential for lots of fine cotton or stash busting smaller balls as shown, pulling from the top with the BONUS little Glass Cup/Hub.

This piece took over two years to make. Aging the pecan log alone took over a year before this select group of bowls were rough-turned and set aside for an additional 11 month drying period. Then a hand-cut groove, and over 20 days of finishing resulted in a brilliant, durable gloss finish. A final coat of museum wax is applied before shipping to resist fingerprints. Dimensions listed are approximate, signed and numbered by the artist with species (Pecan); #1206.
