{"product_id":"wood-vessel-ruby-nebula-211074","title":"Ruby Nebula","description":"This turned hollow-lidded vessel is made from Manzanita Burl, with a lid of Buckeye Burl from California, and accents of Gaboon Ebony and Pink Ivory from Africa. The vessel is hollow-turned, and the lid is separately turned and applied.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTo create the piece, the artist inlaid melted pewter into the voids with a solder iron; he then inlaid the stone using a technique called \"chip inlay\" using semi-precious stones. After breaking the raw turquoise into smaller pieces, he placed the chips into the wood's natural void. A matrix of several viscosities of different superglues cements them. The stones were then ground by hand to the vessel's surface, polished, and sprayed with multiple coats of lacquer for a secure and lustrous finish.","brand":"John M.
