Wooden Bowl

Any idea of the origin?

 

Looks like Koa wood, is it heavy?

 

I’ll check for marks later. Not heavy but it’s kind of thin.

 

Danish ? Swedish ? 70s/80s ?

 

The small ends of the grain look like coconut, but the long grain doesn't.

 

so teak is out of question ?

 

I was thinking Philippine mahogany but don't know. It has a somewhat uncommon rolled rim.

The bowls I've had with silver bases I think have sometimes been marked on the outside.

 

There are repairs.

 

No I doubt teak is out of the question. @Fid do you think it's teak?

I actually do not think it is teak, but would not rule that out.

 

As it's not appreciably heavy, and thin, I'm thinking it's some South American mahogany (or Philippine like SIS mentioned, thanks!)

 

Repairs on wood bowls can be a good thing if they or the bowl are old enough.
