Hand Painted Rustic Wooden Bowl 21" - Watermelon Fruit Bowl

Hand painted western bowl featuring a painted work of art. This is a unique one-of-a-kind piece. Southwestern wooden dough bowls are authentic native bowls made by the Tarahumara Indians of Mexico. Wooden Indian dough bowls or also called trenchers, are carved by hand from native yellow pine and begin as a piece of a downed tree trunk. The log bowls are made by splitting the trunk in half lengthwise then rough cut with an axe.

These carved wooden dough bowls are shaped and further worked with a machete or large knife. The rustic character of primitive bowls and stained dough bowls add a sense of simple beauty to create a natural atmosphere for log homes, cabins and cottages as well as any western ranch or country decor.

Measures approximately 8" wide, 21" long.
