This shot glass is crafted from stabilized River Tamarind burl (Tamarindus indica), a dense tropical hardwood known for its dramatic grain and rich natural contrast. The heartwood presents deep reddish-brown tones with subtle purples, while lighter sapwood areas introduce golden highlights and striking visual separation.
Burl formations create swirling, irregular grain patterns and clustered “eyes” that give the surface a sense of 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 with a food-safe blend of polymerized walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax, the surface has a natural luster and a warm, tactile feel. Minor oil residue during early use is normal and does not affect flavor or performance.
