5½” diameter Narra bowl with carved decoration

The carved dots on this lovely bowl contrast the slow waves of the grain. The softly rounded contours feel lovely in the hands.

Narra wood is native to Southeast Asia. The golden reddish grain has an elegant simplicity, but burls that grow on the trees are so wildly figured that their wood is virtually unrecognizable as Narra, and is typically called Amboyna instead.

This bowl is perfect for nuts or candies, and would make a beautiful centerpiece on a dining table or coffee table.
