Apple Wood Stitched Vase

$75+
4.9(11 reviews)

This unique vase was made from apple wood salvaged from an apple orchard. Most of the wood was very cracked, so I added two ebony "stitches". The "stitches" were made from the keys salvaged from an 19th century church organ. The vase has several cracks and worm holes. The stitches and the defects all give the vase a very unique character. The vase is approximately 4" in diameter and 6.5" high. It was coated with 6 coats of wipe-on polyurethane and then buffed to a gloss finish.

Mr. Batterman exceeded our expectation on workman ship, communication, and helpful hints for improvements. The workmanship of the finished product was beautiful. The finished product was shipped three week ahead of schedule and the packaging was very professional, there was no way it could get damaged during shipment. The price for the project was very reasonable and we will use Mr. Batterman for any future wood projects.

Received my special order champagne flute box today. What a beautiful box, crafted with care. I could not be happier with how it came out. Dean, listened to all of my ideas and designed the perfect wedding gift. The box was made to the exact specification of the glasses. Fit like a glove! Great communication throughout the process and received before promised date! Thank you so much for such a wonderful box!
