Elm Hollow Form

Hollow form of Elm on a dyed maple stand. Hollow form itself is about 4″ diameter and 7″ tall. On the stand it is about 9-1/2″ tall.

About 6″ tall, 3.5″ diameter. Lacquer finish.

If it looks crocked, that’s how it dried – the knot on one side sorta sunk in while the surrounding area bulged out. Gives it some character.
