These are what we call our Home Decor option. That 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. At times some may have been repaired, yet not noticeable. These are bigger, deeper, and better than all the others out there. Keep in mind that these are handmade, rustic, one of a kind, and size will vary slightly. NOTE: Please understand that these bowls are natural handmade products and will never be perfect. That is what makes them rustic and beautiful. Tone, smoothness, shape etc, all rustic and never machine-made.
