Pots 5 - The forest pot

This pot is of turned burl wood, I picked it up in a craft show ages ago.  It appealed to me because the artist has stained the raw wood in a mix of green and gold so it brings the spectrum of forest colours into the house.



The turning work is good; I don't think that the skin of the pot is thicker than 1/4 inch anywhere.   And a curious thing - viewed from above it looks like a dolphin.

That looks super...I'm going to show it to the postman who works in wood and is always open to new ideas about what to make.

A dolphin with a mouth shaped like a fish. Very apt.

I never noticed that before, Steve

And where does it reside?

Hi James, it sits quietly on a shelf at the end of the book case
