‘Graft 5’

£950.00

With ‘Graft’ Mark Hanvey is taking some creative licence and imagining how the timber of two different species of tree would grow if they were grafted at sampling stage much like an apple tree would be joined with a root stock. These new arrivals are made from sycamore, turned green (unseasoned), left to dry and then a twig from a different tree is cut into the side wall.

 

‘Graft 5’ is turned from bleached sycamore.
