​When Bob cut down an Arizona Cypress tree on our property over a year ago, we hoped for some beautiful wood specimens and this XXL yarn bowl surpassed expectations. Features include Bob's silky spiral groove, raised base for added ballast, and a brilliant gloss finish turned into a functional collectible you won't ever want to yarn without. He kept the design simple to highlight the mesmerizing golden grains –hard to capture in photos. Take our word for it, this piece is more striking "in person"!

This bowl is very roomy. Measurements are 7-1/2 (top opening) x 6-1/2" (depth) outside dimensions. Circumference around the middle is a generous 30". For more on how we measure our yarn bowls using diameter vs. circumference and finding the best-sized yarn bowl for you, read "How Big Is That Hand Turned Yarn Bowl?" here.

This XXL yarn bowl holds a full 7oz. (or much larger) skein of med weight worsted rolled for silky smooth pulling. Several smaller fingering/DK weight balls or skeins, most yarn cakes (center feed, upside down!), and large spools of crochet cotton nestle nicely. Ideal for smaller projects –think socks, scarves mittens, all "Little Box" projects, with extra of space for extras when set aside -see pics for details.

TIP: This is the perfect vessel for "frogging". Frog into the bowl and yarn is undisturbed no matter how many interruptions you have.

Crafted over four month period; this piece settled into a nice round shape. Over seventeen coats of finish/hand-buffing bring out the golden wood tones and grains. A final coat of imported museum wax is added to resist fingerprints and stains. Dimensions listed are approximate. One-of-a-kind, signed and numbered; #1219 with "AZ Cypress" (species) engraved as well. A wonderful gift for you or a fiber artist you love.

NOTE! This bowl is designed for use without a cup/hub but we're throwing one in for smaller projects as shown in photos.
