This cedar vase, with its irregular shape, is a perfectly waterproof container. It gives the illusion that it was made by hollowing out a log from a tree. But that is the beauty of making traditional kioke: in truth, it consists of a log broken into six pieces that have been assembled and glued together to create this organic shape.
