Bedfordshire Burr Elm Single

Bedfordshire Burr Elm 0221/0408
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 Black holographic epoxy, making a feature of them. It has been finished with multiple coats of an eco-friendly waterborne lacquer which only needs dusting when required. This piece also has a Chakte Koke lid with a 12tpi hand cut thread ensuring a secure closure.
