The green reminds me of the colorful homes on Isla Providencia, Colombia. The bowl was turned from a piece of chestnut, the exterior textured and the piece painted in acrylic, top coated with danish oil. Measures 9.5" in diameter and 4" tall.

Figure you need someone other than a Dave to respond. Which species chestnut is the wood?
