Vase made of Italian black walnut

Short description:

This vase impresses with its simple shape, which emphasizes the grain and dark color of the Italian black walnut. Compared to other walnut woods, the material is relatively dark. The vase has a height of approx. 30.5 cm.

Material:

The black walnut (Juglans nigra) belongs to the walnut family. Its wood is rare and valuable and is mainly used in furniture and interior design. It is usually a by-product of nut production and, with its grey-brown to black-brown colours, is considered a regional alternative to tropical woods. The grain and pore structure of the black walnut are often particularly pronounced.

The wood for this vase comes from my friend Fillipo's garden near Turin. I cut it myself, dried it and then turned it.

Please note : This vase is made of wood and is therefore only suitable for dried flowers. Filling it with water is not possible as this would damage the material.
