River Tamarind Burl (Stabilized) ──────────── Dimensions: ~2-1/4 inches tall × ~2 inches in diameter ──────────── Tidebreak Tamarind is hand-turned from River Tamarind burl (Tamarindus indica), a dense tropical hardwood known for dramatic contrast and complex grain. The heartwood carries deep reddish-brown tones that can lean toward plum, while lighter sapwood introduces pale yellow highlights. Burl growth creates swirling eyes and irregular grain patterns, ensuring no two pieces are ever alike. ──────────── The form is compact and well-balanced, designed to feel steady and intentional in the hand. Rather than overwhelming the surface with figure, the shaping allows the burl’s natural movement to flow uninterrupted, revealing depth and character from every angle. ──────────── This shot glass is stabilized to enhance durability and resistance to moisture, making it suitable for functional use while preserving the wood’s natural beauty. It is sealed with a food-safe blend of walnut oil, carnauba wax, and beeswax, producing a soft, natural luster and a smooth tactile finish. ──────────── Tidebreak Tamarind reflects the meeting of motion and material—where dense tropical wood, unpredictable burl, and careful hand-turning come together in a piece made to be both used and appreciated. As with all Gentry Crafted shot glasses, this piece is one of a kind.
