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\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-bidi-font-family: Baskerville;\"\u003e. 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.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eThe variations and shapes in the figure are endlessly fascinating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;\"\u003eThe turning 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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext;\"\u003e4” high x 2” dia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"center\" style=\"background: white; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"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;\"\u003e                     All proceeds from all sales of woodturnings support \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"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;\"\u003efamine relief in Darfur and provision of assistance to \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"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;\"\u003ewomen and girls victimized by genocidal sexual violence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Baskerville',serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Baskerville;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Reeves Woodturner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48571036729549,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/9234\/3501\/files\/IMG_0840.jpg?v=1780096859","url":"https:\/\/www.ericreeves-woodturner.com\/products\/twig-vase-tunred-from-buckeye-burl","provider":"Eric Reeves Woodturner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
