Description
Every piece of Burr Elm is unique in terms of figure, patterns and colour variations, it's one of my favourite timbers, full of character, rich with features and no two pieces are ever the same.
During the drying process little cracks and voids open up which in a purely decorative piece wouldn't be a problem but an urn needs to be a secure container so all the voids have been filled with powdered bronze epoxy making a feature of them, a process I call "Kintsugi for Wood".
It has been finished with multiple coats of an eco-friendly hardwax oil which only needs dusting when required.
This piece has a Burr Elm lid with a 12 tpi hand cut thread and a corresponding False Acacia insert ensuring a secure closure.
It measures 280mm H x 170mm D and has a capacity of 4.0 ltrs
