It’s about 6″ diameter and 6.25″ tall.
The bark inclusion was just too big, so I got a little guy in to wall it up.
There was a large crack along one side, which I patched with Walnut pewa.
The bricklayer left some bricks in the bottom.

Turned side-grain – that is, like a bowl, where the mouth of the form is pointing at the tree’s center (pith) and the foot pointing towards the bark.
Bark inclusion bridged with a single Wenge pewa.
Interior painted flat black to enhance the negative space of the interior. Exterior finished with walnut oil to highlight the figure and grain.
