This large vase was turned from "Ambrosia" maple. The tree was attacked by the Ambrosia beetle creating the interesting streaks of brown and gray color. The vase stands 20 3/4" tall. After the vase was hollowed, the spiral flutes were laid out and hand-carved over the span of a month. It was finished with a hand-rubbed oil finish and then polished.
