.  This bowl is 3” in diameter and 1 1/2” high at its highest point and is signed, numbered and includes a “CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.”   Walsh has been making bowls for 19 years and has sold his work at the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery and in other well-known Fine Arts and Fine Craft Galleries in the United States.  Harrisburg National Public Broadcasting Station - commissioned him in 2003 to make 50 bark-edged bowls from one tree.

Ironwood (Desert) - Desert Ironwood is a premium wood from the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, and we get our ironwood specifically from Arizona. It is highly prized for its unique combination of characteristics. You’ll find that the wood color ranges from orangish yellow to darker red or brown and often has darker violet to black streaks. Ironwood is, as its name indicates, a very hard and heavy wood - one of the heaviest woods in the world and actually sinks in water. There is limited access to ironwood, and these limits make recovery of ironwood very expensive and hard to find. It is prized for specialty projects, jewelry, carvings and especially knife handles.

Great service. I just got my bowls just a few minutes ago and they are fantastic. I wish all kickstarter programs were as efficient as yours!! Again many thanks and looking forward to the next campaign
All bowls safely received across the pond. They are every bit as beautiful as I hoped they would be!
The bowl is stunning. Thank You!!!!!!!
Got my bowl today. Beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks David!
Received the redwood bowl last wednesday and what a pleasant surprise it was. An exquisite piece of craftsmanship.
I received my spalted maple bowl a while back--it's gorgeous! One of my favorite woods.
I've seen a lot of local woodwork bowls, but none as beautiful as this. I think it's really interesting how you turn the wood into something almost completely different. It almost looks like marble. I love how the bowls are both rustic but also so posh. It's fine art!
David - your pieces have soul!
absolutely gorgeous! I'm working on it now for a small sculpture!
Beautiful - I can't stop looking at all of the colors and swirls. So happy with this purchase.
Absolutely gorgeous piece finished to perfection! The natural beauty of the wood is enhanced to the utmost via the superb craftsmanship of David Walsh. Thanks David for another pleasant and seamless transaction.
Gorgeous!!!!!! I have purchased a number of pieces from this shop and it is impossible to choose a favorite. I love them all!
Excellent craftsmanship. As beautiful in person as pictured. Accurately depicted. Arrived quickly and well packaged. Very happy!
