This is a vessel that I turned from Sycamore. I then hollowed the interior and embellished the exterior with pyrography(Woodburning) basket pattern. Each little mark was burned over and over to create the basket illusion. I then ebonized the entire piece. The lid is stabilized spalted Bradford Pear. The spalting is where a fungus enters the wood when it was wet and created the color streaks and lines. This was a fun piece to create. Shipping $12.95
