A dramatic sculptural vase turned from a beautiful piece of maple burl, preserving the irregular live edge, natural voids, bark inclusions, and extraordinary figure created by the tree.

The tall, asymmetrical form celebrates the natural character of the burl rather than trying to make it perfect or uniform. Openings, cavities, flowing grain, and rugged edges become part of the design, giving the piece a different appearance from every angle.

The vase is elevated on a turned pedestal base, creating a strong sculptural silhouette while allowing the highly figured burl to remain the focal point. A lacquer finish enhances the warm amber and golden-brown tones and brings out the remarkable depth and movement of the grain.
