£660.00
This vase is crafted from a rare piece of elm burl, a unique and special find due to Dutch elm disease, which has made elm scarce in the country. Burl forms when a tree is damaged, growing around the area to protect itself. This decorative vase, turned on a traditional wood lathe, showcases the raw beauty of the wood. You can also place a glass jar inside if you wish to use it for flowers.

Inspiration and Techniques
Jason’s work is inspired by the natural world and the vastness of space, which he captures through his unique use of wood and resin. His technique of pouring resin like painting allows him to create designs that represent planets, oceans, and galaxies. This method gives him creative freedom and the ability to work with smaller pieces of wood. For Jason, woodturning is not only a craft but a therapeutic practice, blending artistry with a personal journey of resilience.
