The wood for this piece came from a tree in Chelan, WA, that was being removed from a yard. It exhibits beautiful swirling grain with some birdseye figure. A small branch knot has been filled with brass, a subtle but surprising visual reward for those who look closely.

The exterior is painted with milk paint in a color called "soldier blue." The paint was sanded and burnished before the entire piece was finished with walnut oil. The painted exterior now has the look and feel of pottery, creating an interesting contrast with the interior.

This vessel is suitable for food service, or could simply be a display piece to set off a table.
