I happen to like bowls which have a substantial look about them. This is the kind of bowl I would sit on my counter with fruit that I would expect some abuse from the kids. The thickness would save the bowl if they dragged it onto the floor.
Those thin bowls, depending on the wood species, can break easily if dropped.
This bowl has good form and great character. Pile on the apples, oranges and bananas. Since it is close to Christmas pour in a bag of mixed nuts and add some nutcrackers.
