Cedar of Lebanon Bowl Blank

Cedar of Lebanon is a distinctive, aromatic softwood with warm reddish to golden brown tones and a relatively open, straight grain. It often features attractive knots and natural variation, making each piece unique and full of character. It turns easily on the lathe thanks to its softer nature, and its natural fragrance makes working with it a genuinely enjoyable experience.
