These are what we call our Home Decor options. What does that mean? It means that these are not guaranteed to be candle ready. Now that does not mean that they may not. We cannot guarantee that they will be candle ready. Keep that in mind when you buy. We do have the candle-ready bowls listed as well separately. Pinholes and knots are common with these home decor bowls. Hand carved, these rustic wooden French Baguette dough bowls (bateas) are solid and great looking. The sizes all vary, they measure about 7-9" wide x 19-22" long. The depth of these beautiful bowls is about 2-4 inches. ​ NOTE: Our Bowls are not sprayed with fire retardant. That is left up to you. This is not guaranteed to be candle ready, but as a home decor bowl.
