Lava & Ash
Fire meets ash: the resin was poured to flow into the burl's grain like lava into a cooling field.
Violet Tide
The burl sits like a shoreline in a violet sea; turn it in the hand and the tide moves.
Desert Lattice
Cholla is the skeleton a desert cactus leaves behind. Each opening is filled by hand, so no two lattices ever match.
