“DARK VADER” is a special bowl made from the African Wood, WENGE (Millettia Laurentii) or otherwise known as Bokonge.  This bowl is finished in oil and wax and presents in a dark finish.  Wenge can appear completely black to a light brown color and is a tight-grained wood with a glow of gold color on two sides.  This specimen should be “oiled” once every five years to preserve the richness of color.  You can “oil” the bowl with a common vegetable oil or any type of food-safe oil.  Measures 7 x 4 inches. 

Spaulting in a Bowl is when the wood accepts moisture after it has been cut.   This produces an interesting pattern of odd behaivior in the wood as it dries.  Can you spot the spaulting?
