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. The timber from California and Oregon is not particularly interesting underground, but in its burl (above ground) form, Buckeye 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 all 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003eColor has been augmented by inlay of Lapis Lazuli in small natural fissures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-size: inherit; background: padding-box border-box rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003eThe finial in atop this vessel is African Blackwood, the premier detail wood available to woodworkers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003e4.5” high x 2.5” dia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"margin: 0in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline; box-sizing: inherit; border: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); font-size: inherit; background: padding-box border-box rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9); counter-reset: list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0; cursor: text;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003eAll proceeds from all sales of woodturnings support famine relief in Darfur and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\" style=\"margin: 0in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;\"\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.0pt; font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Segoe UI';\"\u003eprovision of assistance to women and girls victimized by genocidal sexual violence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Reeves Woodturner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48599919821005,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/9234\/3501\/files\/IMG_1179.jpg?v=1783788207","url":"https:\/\/www.ericreeves-woodturner.com\/products\/small-vessel-of-buckeye-burl-and-african-blackwood","provider":"Eric Reeves Woodturner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
