Wood with burls is highly prized by woodturners for its unusual, complex grain pattern. Every piece of such wood is put to use, in this case as a small bud vase. The simple, modern design lets the wood be the star. The wide base showcases the burl pattern and the narrow angled top adds an extra bit of interest. Made from elm, the vase comes with a small glass tube so it can hold fresh as well as dried flowers.
Height: 4-1/2”
Top Diameter: 1-1/2”
Bottom Diameter: 3”
