This vessel is 5 1\/4″ tall and 4 1\/2″ in diameter at it’s widest and 3 1\/3″ at base. The Maple is very spalted, though solid, and has a variety of brown hues throughout that lends itself to a very unique piece. <\/p>\n
The shape is reminiscent of a jug or an old milk can and it is accented with a bit of leather lace and beads.<\/p>\n
After finishing the jug I wasn’t all that keen on the shape. It sat around for a while as I tried different additions to it like adding a raffia collar. I even turned a lid for it! Then the simple addition of the beads really made a difference. I now find the shape quite pleasing.<\/p>\n
