4.5” diameter and 6.5” 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 areas with a dark fill applied where insects had created voids left by their devouring work. I always love saving pieces that would have ceased to exist after a few more months of decay.
