Hand lathed, maple wood hollow form vessel crafted by wood artisan Bruce Perlmutter. The maple is from fallen trees local to Perlmutter and has light shimmery golden tones with a pretty grain. The lid is embellished by a process called “chatter work”, hand work done by holding a chatter tool at an angle to the lid, allowed the tool to vibrate against the wood. Each deflection and springback action leaves a cut resulting in the delicate, angular pattern.
