Turned from stabilized Big Leaf Maple Burl (Acer macrophyllum), this shot glass showcases the flowing, unpredictable figure that makes burl wood so captivating. Warm amber tones move through the surface in soft currents, interrupted by lighter swirls and darker pockets that reveal the burl’s layered history.
The form is compact and well balanced, with gently rounded walls that feel natural in the hand. Stabilization strengthens the burl while preserving its intricate character, allowing the grain to remain bold without sacrificing durability or function. The polished finish brings depth to the figure, letting light play across the surface as the piece is turned.
Each angle reveals something slightly different—no two faces of the glass are the same. This piece highlights the quieter elegance of Big Leaf Maple burl: organic, fluid, and unmistakably one of a kind.
Finished by hand and sealed with a food-safe finish, this shot glass is both functional and expressive—a small vessel shaped by nature and refined through careful craftsmanship.
