ERNA – Charred Red Oak Wood Turned Vessel
(14 cm wide, 12.5 cm high)

Erna is a small hollow form with a narrow opening, more rounded at the base and tapering in towards the top. I charred the area around the rim, so it sits like a dark collar at the top of the piece, while the rest of the surface keeps its natural red oak colour. The fine ridges across the surface are from the turning itself.

A thin line of turquoise runs down from the charred rim into the lighter wood below. I hand turned her from red oak, from the tree that came down during a storm in a forest close to Dresden. I made another vessel from the same log, Anke, and the two look great together even though their shapes are quite different.

ERNA – Opalovaná ručně soustružená nádoba z červeného dubu
(14 cm na šířku, 12,5 cm na výšku)

Erna je malá dutá forma s úzkým otvorem, zaoblenější u spodku a směrem nahoru se zužuje. Opálil jsem oblast kolem okraje, takže tam sedí jako tmavý "límec" v horní části nádoby, zatímco zbytek povrchu si drží přirozenou barvu červeného dubu. Jemné rýhy na povrchu jsou stopy po samotném soustružení.

Tenká tyrkysová linka vede od opáleného okraje dolů do světlejšího dřeva. Ručně jsem ji soustružil z červeného dubu, ze stromu, který padl při bouři v lese poblíž Drážďan. Ze stejného špalku jsem vyrobil ještě jednu nádobu, Anke, a obě spolu vypadají skvěle, i když mají docela odlišný tvar.
