This turned vessel is crafted from silky oak, shaped into a slender form inspired by a dried floral bud. Finished with acrylic ink, creating a deep, rich colour while allowing the underlying grain and texture of the timber to remain clearly visible.

The inked finish enhances the natural figure of the silky oak rather than masking it, giving the piece depth and quiet intensity. 

Handcrafted in New Zealand, this contemporary wooden art vessel reflects a careful balance of material and process. A refined, sculptural piece where colour is used to support the form and celebrate the character of the wood itself.
