Latvian Nut Bowl

Description

The Eastern Europeans are great wood carvers, although they don't use segmented turning. This bowl, however, is an example of turning plus chip carving. The traditional bowl has carvings on it, and a lid. I have taken artistic license with the design to make a double bowl for two kinds of nuts. The original top is further hollowed and lidded, so that the combination serves as the lid for the largest bowl.

Actually a third kind of nut is involved. I was a nut to undertake carving this three-part vessel out of hard, seasoned oak, which will never happen again.
