I had an idea for a vessel a couple years ago and decided that the 300 year old elm tree was a worthy candidate for my creation. The thought that this tree was standing 30 or 40’ tall when Patrick Henry gave his famous speech a block away in St. John’s church was with me during its creation.
I turned this footed vessel from a piece of nicely spalted beech. It is 8.5" tall and 5.5" in diameter. I used a wood burner to create the texture on the banding. I like how the burned texture in the banding accentuates the spalting.
This footed vessel is turned and carved from black cherry. It is roughly 8" in diameter and 6 1/2" tall. The finish is oil based urethane. I named it The Drone because it looks like it is trying to lift off the surface and fly.
