This shot glass is crafted from stabilized River Tamarind burl (Leucaena leucocephala), a tropical wood distinguished by dramatic grain and rich natural contrast. Deep reddish-brown tones move across the surface with subtle purples, while lighter areas introduce golden highlights and striking visual separation.
The burl figure creates swirling, irregular grain patterns and clustered eyes that give the surface movement and depth. From every angle, the figure shifts—revealing new lines, knots, and tonal transitions that make this piece unmistakably one of a kind.
The form is compact and well balanced, with smooth exterior contours that feel solid and comfortable in the hand. Its proportions provide both functional durability and a sculptural presence suitable for use or display.
Finished by hand with walnut oil, carnauba wax, and beeswax, the surface has a natural luster and warm, tactile feel.
