Description
DIMINUTIVE SPALTED MAPLE OR BIRCH COVERED CONTAINER TURNED BY MYSELF IN 1986HAS 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.
