Small covered bowl

Hi everyone, this is a small covered bowl made from Noni wood, this is the tree that gives the fruit that makes the famous Noni juice. The thing I like about Noni is that the wood is a nice orange-ish color.
I made the bowl in the traditional Hawaiian calabash shape, I have done thousands of bowls with this shape, since I am from Hawaii and this is the shape of the first bowl I ever turned. I got so good at this shape that I was invited to work for the famous Dan Deluz, one of only 2 people to ever work for him making bowls.
I hope you all enjoy the picture. Aloha.

I don't think you will be able to find this wood anywhere for sale. I cut the tree down here in Hawaii where Noni grows. Most people keep the trees for the fruit. Aloha.
