This buckeye burl piece may be on the edge between hollow form and closed form bowl, but it’s narrow base certainly lends a bit of delicacy to the form. Buckeye burl is such a unique and wonderful species, and this specimen flaunts many of the best features it has to offer. The yellows, grays, and blues retained their saturation and contrast in spite of the use of resin to stabilize and fill the many voids and bark inclusions, which enables this piece to become a bit more practical than it otherwise could have. This hollow form boasts a UV resistant and durable waterproof finish, making it ready for use with live flowers. However, I would recommend using caution as the narrow base may prove unstable with a top-heavy or off-center load. This piece measures approximately 5.5 inches in diameter at its widest point and stands 5 inches tall.
