The trunk was spotted in a field by the artist who is both creative and a skilled craftsman. The wood was cut and brought it to his studio where it was sanded and balanced. The interior was burned in Japanese the technique of Sho Sugi Ban, which blackens the interior of the wood and creates a beautiful contrast to the exterior of the maple. steel plates were cut from an 8" support beam and the wood was routed to exact dimensions to receive the steel. The 1/2" glass is cantilevered, resting on the metal plates, and is also meticulously wedged into the trunk at precise dimensions.
