Spalted ( rotten !) Ash hollow vessel

A recently completed HF from very spalted /rotten Ash , the rest of the vessel is of sound smooth olive Ash and provides a dramatic contrast to the rotten / textured areas ( approx 12" tall ) the stand is made from Oak that has been scorched as has the lid ..

I like the constant flow of the curve on this vessel, and I also like the way that the little black plinth echoes the black in the lid.
p.s. ... it might be worth adding a 'p' to the word 'salted' in the title of the thread!

Oh yes, this is very nice. I like the elegant curve of this piece. Not entirely sure about the lid, but together with the stand it works.

I'm sure if the original piece of wood was laying in a firewood pile no-one would have blinked if it made it to the fire.
You've given it a new life and one of everlasting beauty even in it's ugliness.
And I like the finial, your signature 'Twig'.
