What is a Natural Edge Bowl?Most bowls are turned from wood obtained from deep within the tree. A natural edge bowl uses wood from the outer surfaces of the log. The term 'natural edge' comes from the fact that the outer surface of the tree, the natural edge, makes up the rim of the bowl. The bowl's edge will be irregularly shaped, often having the tree bark still attached. The edge of the bowl, as seen from the side will be saddle shaped, high on the ends and low in the middle. The size of the log determines the shape of the bowl's edge, the saddle. Since the bowl is turned on a single axis, it will be round in shape but the shape of the edge and the grain of the wood cause an optical illusion. The round bowl will appear to be oval shaped to the eye.
