Hand-turned from Pecan (Carya illinoinensis), this "one of one" vessel represents both the natural resilience of North America’s hardest native hardwoods and the very beginning of the maker's journey. As seen in the product images, the towering form showcases the wood's heartwood—ranging from medium brown to pale yellow sapwood—creating a vertical map of the tree's history.
Pecan is notoriously challenging to turn, especially through dense quartersawn grain, but that resistance is exactly what makes this singular piece so enduring. This specific wood species was used for the first spoon and turned bowl in the Gentry Crafted collection, making this pillar-like glass a testament to patience and the quiet strength of the material.
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.
