Lovely wood grain highligted by blue color
I have not seen this palo blanco wood bowl in person, because I bought it as a gift for my mother and had it shipped to her directly. She tells me that the wood grain is lovely. Natural wood and the color blue are two of her favorite things, so I thought this would be to her liking, and she does love it. Where the product description says the artisan "highlights the natural grain of palo blanco," you can believe it. (My father loved making things out of wood, and refinishing wooden antiques to restore the beauty of the woods, so my mother is a good judge of the work, I think.)

On holiday
For summer, I redecorate the master bedroom in a costal theme. These coasters are on the bedside tables to hold the cold lemon water we have there during the night if we happen to wake up and want a sip. They fit perfectly with the theme of the room and are a bit larger in circumference than I thought - which is great as this accomodates various sizes of glasses or mugs. The blue is a beautiful shade and although the design in the fish is somewhat etched, the surface is smooth and even, providing a sturdy base. They are also thick, which means I don't need to worry about heat-transfer to the oak of our tables.
