Elm Burl Saxson Vase Sculpture

This vase is made from a large elm burl. It was made by mounting the wood to a traditional wood lathe and turning it off-centre. The natural edge of the burl gives the vase the look that something is missing or broken away. I hope that this gives the vase the look of an Ancient saxson Vase that has just been excavated. I have always had an interest in history and I hope this comes through in this piece. The vase is all handmade and I have used an additional woodturning tool to slow carve away pieces, in the hope that the vase looks completely different from different angles and perspectives. If you are interested in seeing the different stages in this piece being made, there are video clips on my TikTok @jasonlockwoodturning this sculpture is 23inch or 58cm height and the width 19inch or 23cm
