Bowl Sizes Information

• We make three sizes of wooden bowls. The relationship in size can be seen in the picture alongside.
• We refer to them as "Large", "Medium" and "Small" with matching "Individual" wooden salad bowls or soup bowls available where indicated.
• We start off with turning blanks of 15", 12" and 10" in diameter.
• While the finished diameters vary slightly with the nature of the designs net average external diameters are 14-1/2"... 11-1/2" and 9-1/2".
• The average height of all the bowl sizes is just over 5"
• The individual soup or salad bowls are sized at 6-1/2" diameter with a height of 2-3/4"
• While the size of a portion of salad is a very subjective thing, with experience, we are confident in the small bowl serving 4 to 6 people, the medium 6 to 8 people and the large 8 to 12 people. If you're looking for larger serving bowls, here they are!
• Remember, these wooden bowls are not dish-shaped they have the full capacity of their diameter.

For the further curious here are the average volumes...

• Large Bowl: 10 Quarts
• Medium Bowl: 6 Quarts
• Small Bowl: 4 Quarts
• Individual Bowl: 1 Pint
