Ánfora de Olivo

With this amphora, Santiago wanted to demonstrate how a woodturner can make the best of the material, transforming a dead tree trunk into a thing of light and beauty. Inspiration for each of his works comes while Santiago turns the wood on the lathe, respecting its natural colours, lines and cracks. The deteriorated aspect of this old wood presented a strong technical challenge and Santiago had to work carefully to keep it intact.
