Custom Fruit Bowl - Unique Handmade Designs

The idea from Tanja from Berlin:

A beautiful fruit bowl made of wood. Diameter should be about 30 cm and about 10 cm deep. It can be light or dark wood. I have attached a few examples.

Hello Esther, the bowl looks great! The grain and colour is very nice, dark below, bright at the top. Even the size fits perfectly. Do I need to rub the bowl with an oil to protect against stains? Thank you very much and best regards to Kenya. Tanja

Hello Esther,
I would also like it if the bowl were oval, I added some more photos. Is this possible for the same price? If not, I can stick with round, it's ok too. In general, I think it would be nice if you can see that the bowl is handmade, so it does not have to be "too perfect" (in the sense of being totally round or even), but rather natural and individual and not machine-made.
Best regards
Tanja

Hi
Thanks for sending more shapes.The oval shape can be made and natural.Kindly send me the measurements of the oval one.that's the length width and height after that is when I can tell the price whether to remain the same or more.
Thank you
Esther

Hi Esther,
something like 32 x 17 x 11 (lenght, width, hight). Does not have to be that exact though, plus/minus 1-2cm per dimension is fine too. I just took an example that I found here
https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/550450910/schale-obstschale-oval-aus-olivenholz-ca?show_sold_out_detail=1
If that is not feasible for the previously calculated price, please let me know which size is possible for the same price.
Thanks & Cheers
Tanja
