Suspended Conker Vessel in Spalted Birch
Suspended Conker Vessel in Spalted Birch
An ode to the seasonal game of conkers. I look back fondly on memories of childhood and reminisce in the playground antics of boyhood. Becoming a new father, this piece was a response to my childhood. Suspended by a handmade nettle cord attached traditionally to a cleft and carved spike through the two walls to hold the bulbous form. Measures approximately 9cm high and 10cm at the widest part. Hand carved from spalted walnut, finished with linseed oil.
