The name is a bit of nonsense, but fun. "Fake palm" because to me the texture has the appearance of an endgrain Black Palm bowl. However, the wood is Black Cherry. I created the texture on the exterior with a sharp woodburning tip applied mostly in an upward stabbing motion. I also added a lot of fine lines to make it more interesting. I scrubbed the surface with a nylon brush. The process was tedious and time-consuming, but I really like the end result. The bowl has a calabash shape, and I added a foot because I think the texture benefits from a lift. Finished with hemp oil. 6.5"d x 3.25"h
