SMALL SPALTED MAPLE (OR BIRCH) COVERED CONTAINER TURNED BY MYSELF IN 1986

Description

DIMINUTIVE SPALTED MAPLE OR BIRCH COVERED CONTAINER TURNED BY MYSELF IN 1986
HAS CHARACTERISTIC BLACK LINES OR SPALTING DUE TO FUNGAL DISCOLORATION CAUSED BY PARTIAL DECAY; WOOD IS HARVESTED BEFORE DECAY CAN PROCEED ANY FURTHER
NOT CERTAIN WHETHER THIS IS MAPLE OR BIRCH BUT IT DOES NOT REALLY MATTER; IT IS THE PRESENCE OF SPALTING THAT ADDS CHARACTER TO THE PIECE; MOST OF THE SPALTING IS CONFINED TO ONE HALF OF THE PIECE (EXAMINE THE PHOTOS)
THE CONTAINER MEASURES 5" IN HEIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE COVER; OUTSIDE DIAMETER AT THE BOTTOM IS 2-9/16"
IN EXCELLENT AS TURNED CONDITION; A SMALL 'CHIP' HAD BROKEN OFF THE COVER EDGE AND HAS BEEN RE-ATTACHED WITH HIGH QUALITY EPOXY; THIS IS OBSERVABLE TO THE RIGHT IN PHOTO #10; THERE ARE ALSO SOME SMALL 'CHECKS' IN THE BOTTOM OF THE LID WHICH DO NOT PERMEATE THROUGH TO THE LID TOP (SEE PHOTO #9); THE TOP FITS PERFECTLY TO THE BASE
PH 86 IS STAMPED ON THE BOTTOM INDICATING I TURNED THE ITEM IN 1986
THIS WILL BE SHIPPED BY USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL IN A SMALL BOX WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 14 OZ.
