Buckeye and related species are native to the eastern and western United States. Much of it comes from California, hence the botanical name of this species, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eAesculus californica\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;\"\u003eThe timber from California and Oregon is not particularly interesting underground, but once above ground, Buckeye burl more than makes up for this: the wood is soft, with a palette of grays, whites, blacks, and some brown and orange. This all comes from the oxidizing of underground minerals the burl has absorbed. The patterns that are generated by these colors are simply spectacular, like no other burl wood in the world. The variations and shapes in the figure are endlessly fascinating. Color here is augmented by an inlaying of real turquoise, a dramatic contrast with the subtle hues of the Buckeye.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;\"\u003eThe walls of the hollow form have been turned to a very thin dimension—all through the half-inch hole at the center. It was finely sanded and sealed; after sealing, Danish oil was rubbed into the wood, followed by hand-rubbing with a combination of carnauba and beeswax in a light solvent. This finish has what I think is a very light and transparent quality.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"line-height: 16.5pt; background: white; margin: 0in 0in 7.5pt 0in;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e4.5\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal;\"\u003e\" h  x  x3\"dia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 7.5pt; line-height: 16.5pt; mso-outline-level: 3; background: white;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;\"\u003eAll proceeds from all sales of woodturnings support famine relief in Darfur and provision of assistance to women and girls victimized by genocidal sexual violence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Reeves Woodturner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48562591957197,"sku":null,"price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/9234\/3501\/files\/IMG_0528.jpg?v=1778259538","url":"https:\/\/www.ericreeves-woodturner.com\/products\/hollow-form-turned-from-buckeye-burl-6","provider":"Eric Reeves Woodturner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
