This vessel is a combination of Grapefruit wood and metal. The stand is welded steel and on close inspection sections of small copper tubing can be seen. These copper segments snake around between the wood segments, moving from the base to the top of the piece. This vessel is now in the collection of Dewey and Judy DeWitt.
Size: 23"h x 7 1/2"w x 6"d
Material: Grapefruit wood came from a friend that had removed a dead tree on his property at Big Rock Drive in Tucson, Arizona.
Finish: Steel stand was given a bluing treatment by heating. Oil finish was applied to all wood segments and wax finish rubbed and polished on the entire piece.
