The natural contours and grain of the Flame She Oak stump dictate the general shape and design of the finished piece.
The artistic concept of a floral arrangemnt to hold a Bonsai plant or Candle has emerged. Very time consuming sanding to 600 gritt sandpaper enables the piece to have a natural high degree of polish and lustre which has been enhanced by one coat of Tung oil to seal and preserve the finished work of art.
