Beaded Jar

Ash wood
7" (d) x 7" (h)
 
Unique closed-form vessel of ash wood.  It has a beaded texture all around the exterior, with a slight carinated form towards the rim.  The rim itself has been charred, adding a pop of contrast.  It is once-turned from green wood, resulting in very subtle movement and a nuanced take on a classical form
 
Exterior textured with beading tool
Rim charred by fire
Finished with Waterlox oil (satin sheen)
 
Sourced from the Ferry Farm neighborhood, Fredericksburg, Virginia
