Item Description


BOX ELDER "G" IKEBANA VASE #7832 WALSH SMITHSONIAN











Description:

This is a "G" ikebana vase made from solid piece of Box Elder. It is 7" in diameter, about 2" high and weighs 1 pound(s) 6 ounces. The vase insert is heavy cast metal. It has a frog and holds water for cut flowers, dry flowers or a tea light candle.

Box elder is a soft maple. It has the same type of ambrosia figuring as the red and silver maples, but it is caused by the box elder beetle. The figuring is strikingly red in the almost white wood, and is more than dramatic due to the often intense color of the red. When cutting the wood, the chain saw will be pumping out a stream of white chips which will suddenly turn blood red.

All of my bowls and vases are made from dry, cured bowl blanks I cut individually from logs.

My work is offered in two styles: My “Gallery Bowl,” or “G” style bowl, is gallery quality. The luster of the finish has to be seen to be appreciated, and has been compared to the finish on a Steinway piano.

My “Period Bowl,” or “P” style bowl is made in a fashion similar to those bowls made hundreds of years ago. Slight tool marks are left visible as typical in early bowls. These bowls are lightly sanded and have a soft, smooth, glowing matt finish.

Bowls with a “+” designation after the number are pieces I consider particularly nice. Often it will be because their figure is extraordinary but it could be color, shape, design, etc. These are pieces that do not come along very often, and I anticipate that less that 10% of my work will carry the “+” designation. If you see one of these pieces, you will immediately know that it is exceptional.

In a newspaper article on David Walsh, David Dennis, a retail buyer for the Renwick Gallery at the Smithsonian said “Walsh is one of his top vendors”. Dennis, who is amazed at how light Walsh’s bowls are, said his bowls sell between $60 and $200 but the highly figured larger bowls have sold between $300 and $800.

Photos are of the actual piece. Photos appearing after that of the bottom of the piece showing wood, number and signature are those taken around the studio or on site recovery operations. PLEASE! Use a ruler to help you determine its size as the photos do not show that.

FOR U.S. BUYERS, Shipping is $8 for the first item (heavy pieces may be more) and $3 for each additional item for multiple items shipped together. Insurance is free on every order. I accept payment through paypal, personal check or money order. Upon receipt of funds I will ship usps priority the next day. If you are not completely satisfied you may return the item for a full refund including your return shipping.
