This XL Cherry Yarn Bowl is THE versatile yarn tool you won't want to work without. The finish on this piece is so super shiny, you can see your face in it. Hard to photograph with pesky reflections (see note below), this bowl is a stunner "in person". Measurements: 8-1/2" (top diameter) x 7" deep. In fact this bowl has so more storage space than most of our XL's making this an XXL bowl at an XL price:) Circumference at midpoint is 26-1/2". Read more on choosing the right size yarn bowl for you and how to measure our yarn bowls using diameter vs. circumference here.

When unpacked for a work session, you'll easily fit an entire "Super Saver" 7.5 oz ball with plenty of room to spare. Or pull a few smaller balls of fine yarn from the top. Versatility at it's best, there's plenty of space for everything when your #wip is artfully set aside. 
​Crafted over a three-month period, it's nice and round; unusual as fresh hardwoods warp in varying degrees while curing. The Fibonacci spiral groove makes yarn glide effortlessly. A bit of bore damage (right side front, as shown) adds interest with faint surface shapes, painstakingly filled prior to final finishing. For that, most turners would dismiss the art to the scrap-wood pile. Bob considers this an opportunity to restor the bowl to share as "perfectly imperfect"; deeply discounted for one who appreciates natures imperfections. More time spent for less money always produces amazing results...
Enjoy knowing that this gift to mankind was not ground into mulch!
–Bob Heckathorn
Over seventeen coats of finish/hand-buffing bring out the deep cherry tones and brilliant shine. A final coat of imported museum wax was added to resist fingerprints and stains. Dimensions listed are approximate. One-of-a-kind, signed  and numbered; #1196 with "Cherry" (species) engraved as well. Yarning decor at it's best.
Please Note: Brilliant shine in photography is a challenge for the most seasoned photographer. Added photography time could result in less reflection of the surrounding white backdrop. Less valuable time on photography results in lower cost.
