Natural edge elm burl decorative wooden vase

£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, particularly space, oceans, and planets. By combining wood and resin, he has developed a technique that mimics the fluidity of painting, where the resin is poured in a way that interacts with the wood to create striking, dynamic designs. This method allows for more creative freedom and enables him to incorporate smaller pieces of wood, giving each piece a unique, layered look. For Jason, woodturning is not just a craft but also a therapeutic practice that helps him cope with pain while expressing his creativity.
