This piece has exceptional New England cherry wood,
flawless form, technical perfection, and the very desirable "Lindquist
hand-carved, relieved cracks." One of the major significances of this
vase is the way the cracks have been handled. Mark began "relieving"
cracks (the natural checks that occur during drying) in the early 70's by hand carving and
sanding them. The effect was a "Kanji - like" (Japanese calligraphy
characters) design aspect which is integral to the design of the piece. It is part
of an overall design philosophy that Melvin has developed (and historically implemented)
to accept all the irregularities of the wood as being meaningful and critical to the
design.

| This Hollow Turned
and Carved Vase is an exquisite example of the
highly prized blind bored pieces made in the early 80's. This piece is especially
intriguing because of the very deep carving and painstaking hand finishing. |
 |
| Cherry Burl is a medium dense northern hardwood which turns, carves and polishes
beautifully. |
