A wide conical cap spreads outward like an open umbrella above a straight cylinder stem. The proportions are deliberate: the cap extends well beyond the stem on every side, creating a broad shadow on the surface below. A prominent natural knot sits on the stem like an eye staring back at you. The whole piece stands on a turned disc base, and every surface is polished smooth in the same golden honey tone.
Wide Conical Cap
The cap is shaped as a low, broad cone rather than a rounded dome. It rises from a thin, sharp brim to a gentle peak at the center. The angle is shallow, roughly 20 degrees from horizontal, so the cap reads as wide and flat rather than tall and round. This shape catches overhead light across its full surface and creates a large circular shadow underneath. The wood grain sweeps across the cone in long, flowing arcs that change direction at the peak.
Straight Cylinder Stem with Natural Knot
The stem is a clean vertical cylinder, wider than you might expect, with no taper or bulge. It stands straight from the disc base to the underside of the cap. A natural knot sits prominently on the stem face, surrounded by swirling grain that flows around it like water around a river stone. The knot is not hidden or filled. It is sanded flush with the surface and sealed with the same oil finish, making it a focal point rather than a flaw.
Turned Disc Base
The base is a flat, round disc slightly wider than the stem diameter. It is turned from the same wood to match the cap and stem in color and grain direction. The disc is thick enough to provide stable weight at the bottom, keeping the sculpture upright without feeling heavy.
