Joel Hunnicutt NC Artist Hand Turned Maple Wood 10" Hollowform OS Vase Red Ombre

Joel Hunnicutt NC Artist Hand Turned Maple Wood 10" Hollowform Signed OS Vase with a high gloss lacquer finish ombre finish that fades from a burnt orange red to golden yellow. Hunnicutt is a North Carolina artist of world renown whose work is displayed in public and private collections throughout the world. Hunnicutt goes beyond traditional woodturning, using segmented construction as a primary design tool. He first cuts many small, precise pieces of wood and then assembles them into a rough form, which is then turned on a lathe. He often uses dyes and inks to transform these turned shapes into a rainbow of color. Pieces are typically finished with lacquer.

Lovely preowned condition with no chips or cracks. About 10" tall and  8" at the widest point. Signed on the base. It is likely made of maple wood, but please see photos.
