Wasn't sure just where to post this so I decided this was as good as any spot. This is the first dough bowl I have ever done, so I thought I would show it. It does have some roughness to it which was intentional. The insides are not exactly even and the hand cut handles are a bit rough. I did want it to have a rustic appeal to it and I think I accomplished it while at the same time making it attractive to most folks in general. I only used walnut oil (two coats) for the finish. This one is 21 3/4" long and 11 3/4" wide. The height is about 2 1/4" and the depth about 1". Keeping the profile I wanted on the base I didn't dare go too much deeper. It does actually hold water and the volume measured at 1/2 gallon. For a first attempt I am rather pleased with it. It took a little getting used to but that Lancelot cutter works well. It did a nice job on the hollowing. Hope you like it.
