Vase (American Walnut)

The vase is hand-carved from American walnut, one of the very few non-Australian timbers I carve. It always has an amazing grain and rich chocolatey colour. This vase is very different from the original drawing I did when planning it. That drawing didn't translate well into the 3-dimensional form and just kept reminding me of a bunny rabbit! I had to keep carving wood away until I arrived at its current form. All vases are intended for dry flowers only.
