This is a special bowl we made for a young lady named Abby who is a Australian Sheppard who might be a little finicky when she eats. See she does not like just regular dog food and does not like eating out of boring bowls!!! So this special engraved bowl that is made from reclaimed pine with a charcoal waterbased stain and then finished with 6 coats of Water based finish to protect for a very long time.
