Knot in the Stand
Hand-crafted wooden shot glass — one of one
This shot glass is turned from Quaking Aspen personally harvested in the mountains of Colorado.
Aspen is known for its pale tones, light weight, and subtle movement in the grain—qualities that give this piece a quiet, living presence.
The defining feature of this glass is the knot, preserved rather than erased. In Aspen, knots mark moments of stress, growth, and adaptation. Here, it becomes the visual and narrative center of the piece.

Craft & Finish
This piece was shaped and hollowed entirely by hand, with care taken to balance the knot’s presence against a clean, comfortable form.
