This 8x2 cherry bowl features a beaded and textured rim. Finished with gloss poly. The lady who ordered it wanted a tough gloss finish so she could just wipe out the oil and dust from the nuts she plans on serving from it. She wanted a design or point of interes on the rim but did not want to worry about getting the dust out of the texturing. After 5 coats of poly the texturing is filled but still visiable.
