This Jumbo Cup/Hub Yarn Bowl Set is a very rare offering, here's why:
One of two pieces turned from a single (enormous!) speciman of red oak, this bowl cracked dramatically during the drying process. The "companion" bowl was beyond repair. Bob was able to rescue the "better half" mindful that wood yarn bowls this size are very uncommon. With some encouragement, he pushed to finish this piece beautifully nonetheless. For more on this restoration process read: Turning, Drying & Wabi-Sabi here.

Front and back views feature pretty swirling grains, while the two east and west (end-grain) views have very fine cracks which were painstakenly filled with the desired natural result. Sadly, a couple of the larger fills, resulted in a sub-par look to the artists eye, but  he continued with a "perfectly imperfect" heirloom in mind (more on that here). Creating custom fills is tricky because the custom mixed fill and the wood tones on every bowl change from the beginning to end of the finish process. In this instance, a couple subtle spots (see photos) have reduced the price of this beautiful cup/hub set for one lucky yarner to snap up at a deep discount.

This Jumbo Set includes our large glass tool cup/hub for yarn bits, snips, and more; ready to load up and spin at your side for ALL your wips. Set the cup in the center of the #JumboYarnBowl to separate smaller balls, keeping them from rolling/tangling as you pull each yarn from the top. Load it with big balls of worsted (or anything) and projects become portable with panache. Easily move from the living room to the den –even the bedroom for Sunday morning coffee and crochet... 

The bowl measures a whopping 14-3/4" (top diameter), x 4-3/4" depth including some includes extra ballast in its 1/2" base. Circumference of 44-1/2" around the middle (all od).The large glass tool cup/hub is 3-1/2" diameter x 4-1/4" deep, and doubles as a standalone tool you'll use constantly.  For more on how we measure our yarn bowls and how to choose the right one for you, please read here.

Over thirty coats of finish and hand-buffing bring out the rich character of the rosy oak tones and stunning grains, silky smooth to the touch; with a final coat of museum wax to resist fingerprints. Artisan signed and numbered; #1225, dimensions are approximate. This set is a duplicate of my favorite yarn bowl set –always in use. One-of-a-kind; an investment that will not disappoint at a special price!

Please note: due to its low profile, this bowl does not have a yarn groove. You'll love how much it holds and pulling multiples from the top with your tool cup/hub in the center.
