Amboyna Burl Shot Glass (Hand-Shaped, Stabilized, One of One) Dimensions: Approx. 3 1/2" tall × 1 5/8" diameter
Hand-shaped from stabilized Amboyna Burl, this "one of one" vessel represents a departure from the lathe, crafted instead through direct contact with an angle grinder, sanding blocks, and carving tools. As seen in the product images, the surface is a fiery landscape of swirling deep reds and dense, chatoyant highlights that shift with every movement of light.
Every curve of this glass was coaxed and guided by feel, resulting in a form that is as tactile as it is visual. The vacuum-stabilization process preserves the wood’s complex, fiery grain while ensuring a durable, lasting structure. Born of grit and curiosity, this piece carries the story of a custom commission turned into a personal exploration of one of the world's most revered burl woods.
