Sadly the vast majority of our Elms in the UK have been devastated by Dutch Elm disease. This piece came from the branches of 300 year old tree on a farm in the village of Stonely, Bedfordshire, it was trimmed to try to save it. I was approached by the farmer who wanted the wood to be used rather than become firewood. 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 Turquoise holographic epoxy, making a feature of them. It has been finished with multiple coats of a very durable hard-wax oil which only needs dusting when required. The Robinia lid has a hand cut 12tpi thread ensuring a secure closure.
It measures 280mm H x 165mm D (11" H x 6 ½" D) and has a volume of 3.3ltrs (201 cu in)
