Hollow forms are bowl or vases with a tight opening. They present a great surface to show the wood’s natural beauty but are more difficult to create as the hollowing is done through a relatively small hole.
Box Elder Burl Hollow Form (521) $575





This piece was created from a gnarly block of nicely figured Box Elder burl. I chose to paint the interior a flat black to accentuate the natural voids. The base, which is also painted black, lifts the piece up, just enough to give it a more airy feel. 4 3/4″ tall, 7 1/2″ wide (3 1/4″ at the base), 2″ opening, 1/4″ thick
