3.5” diameter and 3.75” tall  

Commonly known as Box elder, this wood species produces some of the most beautiful lathe  turned pieces available. This tree is commonly found along creek banks or low lying areas as  this tree needs the extra moisture provided by these environments. This tree is known for the brilliant red and pink colors produced by the tree whenever it is in some distress due to insect  infestation. This particular form has a fantastic shape and nice grain features. This species  should be kept out of direct sunlight so that the red colors remain true. This piece has a tiny opening at the top and is completely hollowed. When you pick the piece up, you can tell that the wood is turned quite thin as the piece is very light.
