Ebonized Mystery Wood Vase signed by Artist - Handmade by Illinois Woodturner Shane Boland - 13" tall x 6" diameter - Tall Modern Vase

This was a commissioned piece based on another vase I made the previous year.  I made this mystery wood vase (I believe it is ash) in June 2025 from a section of a very large piece of mystery wood I bought in Kankakee last summer. The vase measures approximately 13" tall and 6" in diameter. 

I ebonized the outside of the vase with a combination of black stain, navy stain, boiled linseed oil, Yorkshire Grit, microfiber Yorkshire Grit and finished with 8 coats of clear gloss lacquer.  The inside of the vase beautifully contrasts the outside and was coated with boiled linseed oil and finished with 8 coats of lacquer.
