Here is a great shaving soap bowl. It is made from Kingwood which is a rare dense hardwood. Kingwood, also known as Emperors Wood because they used to make furniture for the emperors in the late 1700's. A very expensive wood! It is harvested from small trees so there's not much around. The grain pattern and rich brown color are magnificent. It even has 1 small worm hole in the lip of the bowl. It has been finished with 6 coats of waterproof Very High Gloss Finish. You'll be the only one with one of these, besides me! This will be a special order and will take up to 7-10 days to ship. This is the last piece that I have in stock and don't know when I'm getting more. I will not make my last piece until it is sold. You can design your own bowl.
