Spalted Curly Maple Shot Glass (Stabilized, One of One)Dimensions: ~2-3/4" tall × 2" diameter
This "one of one" vessel is a study in transformation—where preserved entropy meets design, and nature paints with unexpected color. Turned from stabilized Spalted Curly Maple (Acer saccharum), it combines two rare phenomena: "curling," where undulating fibers shimmer like silk, and "spalting," the dramatic black lines left by the natural aging of the wood.
As seen in the product images, the green dye interacts with these patterns to evoke a deep forest floor, mimicking moss creeping over fallen timber and lichen spreading across weathered bark. The compact, balanced form offers a tactile connection to the wild unpredictability of nature, ensuring a singular rhythm of curls that can never be replicated.
Finish: Sealed with polymerized walnut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax for a smooth, food-safe luster.
Care: Hand wash only. Refresh the finish occasionally with walnut oil or food-safe wood conditioner.
Best For: Ideal for spirits served neat or at room temperature.
