Avocado pit: 3/4" wide 3/8" tall
Back in the summer I came across people using avocado pits for buttons, so I thought "why not a bowl". Started drying a pit in late summer/ early fall. Turned back in November because the outside was turning black and it was getting hard. It was like turning cold...
This ash piece is a bit of a departure for me, in that it's only about 2 inches tall. Was initially thinking of using it as a knob for a lid on a much larger container, but I decided otherwise. It lay around for awhile and I decided to hollow, sandblast, dye and wax it.
