Green Box Elder Burl Shot Glass (Stabilized, One of One)Dimensions: Approx. 2 3/4" tall × 1 1/2" diameter
Hand-shaped from stabilized Box Elder Burl, this "one of one" vessel is a foundational piece of the Gentry Crafted story. Crafted before the lathe or the catalog, it was formed entirely by hand using an angle grinder and refined through hours of manual sanding. It carries the marks of a maker learning through touch, patience, and trial—a quiet milestone that helped turn a passion into a path.
The wood is dyed green to highlight the burl’s unpredictable and expressive figure, revealing a landscape of swirling grain and natural voids. While Box Elder is humble in origin, it belongs to the maple family, possessing a quiet prestige that is brought to the forefront here. It is a vessel that holds more than liquid; it holds memory, momentum, and the very beginning of a craft still unfolding.

Care: Hand wash only. Refresh the finish occasionally with walnut oil or food-safe wood conditioner.
