Formed by a unique combination of genetic mutation and insect activity within the Birch tree, it produces an extraordinary pattern of dark eyes and swirling, flame-like figure set against a pale cream to golden background. The ‘curly’ figure adds an additional rippling, three-dimensional quality that shimmers as the light catches it — a truly exceptional turning blank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a one of a kind piece — MBS01 — photographed individually so you can see exactly what you are buying.
