11.5” tall by 8.25” diameter. I have only recently begun to make this shape, but I am very drawn to it and will do it more with different types of wood. Trees are a canvas that nature loves to draw on and i am always in awe of it. Spalting is a part of the decay process in which colonies of fungi work to decompose a downed tree back to the earth from whence it came. The black lines, as well as the blue and grey colors you see are mineral deposits left by these fungal colonies as they work through the wood. I have worked to arrest and preserve their work through form and finish.
