    Default hollow vessel

    Camphor Laurel taken from a large branch.

    Random spiral pattern 23 cm x 17 cm, oiled with Danish Oil till it could take no more, polished with EEE, then buffed.

    The shape is based on North American Indian pottery forms. The region or culture this particular form derives from escapes me, hopefully some of the North American formites can chime in.

    This one for some reason or another had many problems, including dropping it twice. It had what looked like 'wind shake' filled it a couple of times damn holes keep coming back. I think Murphy has been helping me

    The upside is the 'Boss' has taken a shine to it, so this one wont make it to the gallery.

    Hi Hughie.
    Interesting looking piece. I guess you hand carve the spirals?
    What gallery do you normally sell through?

    Yes hand carved, as to galleries I am currently between galleries and experience has taught me to stock up before approaching the next gallery.
