    It's thinly carved out of one chunk of wood. One image is the side with an age crack. The other is the unvarnished base. 101_0051.JPG 101_0054.JPG

    Hi,
    It's a burl so could be a lot of things but it reminds me of cherry.

    Thanks. I don't think this was ever meant for use. It was turned very thinly indeed.
