Chinese Natural Hardwood Base

Knotted lump of dark wood with holes in it, doing its best impression of a cliff.

This natural hardwood base is from China, and is contemporary. It is wood. Hardwoods come from broadleaf trees and are dense, durable and close grained, which suits them to stands that must carry weight. Low irregular stand with a flat, finely grained top above a gnarled base of twisting root-like forms and open gaps. The wood is dark reddish-brown with a polished feel. Streaky grain runs along the top edge. It is 1.75 inches wide, 2.25 deep and 0.75 high.

Naturally crooked and rightfully pleased about it.
