H 90.0 x W 90.0 x D 8.0 cm

This piece was once a large ash tree. The object is made from the stem of the tree and is made of one single piece of ash. The three visual rings accentuate the woodgrain and the wavelike shape in the object.
The split on the bottom right side gives this object tension, it was already in the wood when I started turning it. It is a ‘dry crack’ that makes room in the wood as it dries. It will not crack any further because the wood was dry as I started and because it is been fixated on the back of the piece by an inlayed butterfly (not in sight when hung on the wall).
Turned on the lathe. Finished with a flat/ matt finish which makes it look almost untreated.
