"Whispers of the Laurel" is a stunning live edge vase that celebrates the raw, natural beauty of laurel wood. The piece is masterfully turned from a crossgrain cut, with the rich heartwood and pith creating a dramatic swirl of color and pattern that contrasts beautifully with the pale sapwood. The rim is turned exceptionally thin, and the live edge has bowed inward during the drying process, creating a unique and graceful silhouette. With tasteful carving at the base, this piece is a testament to both the material and the artist's skill, a fact recognized by its "Best in Show" award for adult woodturning at the county fair.
Materials: Laurel wood
Dimensions: 6.5 inches tall, 4.5 inches in diameter
Features: Live edge, thin-turned rim, dramatic contrast between heartwood and sapwood, tasteful carving on the base.
