The LOML asked me to make a set for candy/nut bowls for her best friend that entertains allot. These are what I came up with 3 cherry bowls. They are 5 1/4- 4 3/4 - 4 1/8 x 2 1/2 finished with 2 coats gel poly and wax
Those are really nice. Your wife's friend may want to hot glue them to the table, somebody might want to ease out the door with them and leave the contents on the table.
