Harry Ford experimented with River Birch for the first time when he turned these two vessels. One vessel was created as a vertical axis to preserve the natural bark on the side of the piece. The other hollow form was designed with a live-edge lip and the bark details that emerged were a "happy accident." The oiled finish on both pieces darkened the wood into a rich, elegant sheen. Take these lovely and stylish pieces home today.
