To finish the underside, the nearly completed piece had to be held from the outside by large jaws designed for that stage of the turning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Facebook post made while the bowl was still in progress recorded the concern plainly: the final touches could not be taken for granted, and cleaning up the back side made the maker nervous. If the bowl shifted or came away from the jaws, the work already invested in it could be lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat moment gives \u003cem\u003eThe Final Pass\u003c\/em\u003e its name. It is a modest part of the bowl’s history, but an honest one—the piece was not complete until one last uncertain operation succeeded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout This Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly six inches wide and three inches deep, this compact bowl has proportions suited to an individual salad, snacks, dry foods, or decorative use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural grain and color variation move through the walls and interior. A closed, firm knot on the exterior is nearly flush with the surrounding wood and does not pass through the wall. A much smaller knot remnant on the underside leaves a slight localized recess without affecting how steadily the bowl sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exact Maple species and original source are no longer documented, so the wood is identified simply and accurately as Maple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne-of-one hand-turned Maple bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximately 5-15\/16 inches wide × 3 inches high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBare weight: just under 11 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished with Mahoney’s walnut oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinal paste wax contains walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntended for individual salads, snacks, dry foods, or decorative use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot intended for soup or holding liquids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash and dry promptly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not soak or place in a dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinished but unsigned underside\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gentry Crafted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49074661097727,"sku":"MapleBowl3","price":58.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/2808\/2943\/files\/the-final-pass-maple-bowl-img-03622.jpg?v=1789225943","url":"https:\/\/gentrycrafted.com\/products\/the-final-pass-maple-bowl","provider":"Gentry Crafted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
