This box elder burl came from my club’s wood exchange raffle. It is not a large piece but, looking at the raw wood, it has great potential. It screamed, “Hollow Me”.

I complied. Yellow alcohol die accents the burl figure. However, I sanded most of the dye off, leaving only enough to accent the figure.

The top opening is only about 1/2″. All of the hollowing was through the bottom. The vase is about 4″ diameter and 5″ tall, finished with rattle-can lacquer.

Enjoy!
