Use an Indian wooden bowl for a center 
piece? What a fabulous year round 
decoration! I use my carved bowl every 
season and never get tired of the various 
ways of decorating to make each season 
special. 
If you like to decorate for each season like 
I do, you know what an impact the table 
decoration can make on your rustic home 
decor. I want to share some ideas with you 
that I use on my dining room table and I 
know you will love the look because I get 
compliments all the time. In fact, people 
love my wooden bowl so much that I now 
give them as gifts to my special friends.
You will find that some bowls are shaped 
with a sanded finish while others may be 
shaped by a machete for more of a 
chiseled, rustic look. 
Each bowl is hand crafted from a native 
yellow pine log and can also be made with 
rawhide lacing. Whether you choose a more 
finished or rustic bowl, you will enjoy having 
an authentic bowl hand carved by the 
Tarahumara Indians for your south western 
home.
Traditionally these bowls were used for food 
preparation, but they are now created to be 
used for home decor and native south 
western art. 
Most of the wooden bowls are rough sanded for 
more of a rustic look which will make the 
bottoms be more round than flat. I made mine 
less wobbly by touching it up on the bottom with 
my own sander.
 It turned out perfect for me to use as an 
addition to my rustic decor or for gift ideas.
A creative way to display your wooden bowl is 
using it as a center piece on your dining table. 
You will enhance your rustic decor by displaying 
other items inside the authentic bowl. 
An assortment of fruit, pine cones, decorative 
orbs, and candy are just a few items that can be 
placed in your bowl for display. I have thoroughly 
enjoyed mine, especially at Christmas time.
