Vase from Spalted Cottonwood with Turquoise and Jet inlay

Set of 8 Miniature Hollow Form Vessels with Turquoise

The green malachite inlay I put into cracks that occurred as the tree dried out

This piece is the most challenging hollow form I have turned thus far due to the large number of voids in the wall of the vessel combined with the burl having grown around 4 different large rocks that I had to dig out and remove from the interior of the piece during the hollowing process

I love the wavy grain pattern in Russian Olive as well as the light colored precambrian layer just under the bark it creates such a nice contrast to the wood underneath.
