This is a unique wood turned vessel made out of California Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia). Coast Live Oak is one of my favorite oak species. They grow locally here on the chapparal hill sides with twisted, spreading branches. Almost every week, I drive around the neigborhood, scanning curbsides for oak trimmings people piled up for green recycling. Once in a while I got lucky with some nice sized branches. This hollow form was the result of a crotch piece from such a foray, turned cross-grain to show all the beautiful ray fleck patterns. A ring of natural bark was retained for accent.

Dimension (largest diameter x height): 3-3/8" x 2-5/8"
