Alan, what a great idea! That's just beautiful.

I've been thinking that I wanted to get a hand turned salad bowl all these years but now you've inspired me! I'm hoping to fire up my new kiln in the next month, this is definately a project I want to add to my list. Hmmm, I have a wonderful pair of ginko leaf shaped hand carved wooden salad spoons. Maybe I'll incorporate that design into the bowl. Geeze now you've really got me thinking....

Thanks for sharing!
