Open form vessel in blackened oak with copper detail

About the Item

This oak and copper open form draws the eye and entices touch. Its form created through a collaboration of maker and material. The maker selects the material, green (unseasoned) oak, shapes and hollows the wood to make a thin-walled hollow form. Copper bands are placed across natural stress lines. The thin wall allows the material to get to work as it releases tension and moisture. The process creates the final form with its dramatic contours. The result is a combined expression of maker and material. After the wood has relaxed into its final form the maker applies a hot flame to the outer surface. This blackens the wood and creates a tactile surface, which is then sealed. The result is a finished form that entices touch. Making the piece a visual and a tactile form.
