Blackwood vase turned from an long dead tree as can be seen from the grub holes, termite gallery and cracks. The extra dark colouring appears to be associated with the start of the rotting process although the timber is still solid, in fact hard as a goats forehead. Vase is 170 mm high, 150 diam, finished with Rustins Danish Oil and buffed with eee a week later.
Comments and criticism welcome.
