Bead-n-Scallop Bowl

The Norwegian ale bowl has many styles and I decided to add another one to the mix.  I wanted to maintain a soft and delicate appearance using rounded and beaded edges to both the rim and outer edge of the handle.  Then using simple C’s and adding a small notched bead in the center of the scallop I feel I completed the magic of the ale bowl.

Now all you have to do is to personalize this attractive piece with your finishing touches.  This bowl was made with the finest grade of poplar hardwood.

You will find this piece featured in Gayle Oram’s 2007 book, Rosemaling Styles, Study and Design painted in the Hallingdal style. You can purchase this wonderful detailed book below.
