Beautiful bowl. Large size. The finish is completely natural and very raw. I reached out to the manufactirer to find out if I can stain this wood and they verified that I can. I plan on doing that because the natural state doesn't compliment the dining table I have this displayed on the way I thought it would. No fault of the product, a decision I made. It's exaclty the size I needed. Wish it was a little less expensive though.
