Sculpted Yakisugi Vase

This design lived in my head for a long time before I had the opportunity to create it. From previous versions, I knew I wanted to go big.

The wide grain fir this piece is carved from provides micro-texture while the carving enabled this 3 pound sculpture a maximum statement. 

I absolutely love the mountainous feeling this piece gives, and the sharp organic points of the spout achieved by allowing the flames to burn to their own desire, reminds me of a jutting, stoic mountain peak.

Dimensions: 13.25 inches x 5.5 inches 

It has two holes, the top hole measures 1 inch in diameter and 5.5 inches deep. The second hole measures 0.5 inches in diameter that extends the total depth to 7.5 inches.

This vase is not watertight and is intended for dried florals. Measurements are approximate.
