Maple Vase with Lichtenberg embellishments

This is a Maple Vase that measures 5 inches diameter by 13 inches tall.  A process called Lichtenberg was applied to achieve this beautiful and intricate burn design.  The Vase was hollowed out to a uniform thickness and then bleached to lighten the wood color.  The finial, which is removable, collar and base are all dyed black.  Multiple coats of Satin Lacquer Finish were applied to protect the Maple and Embellishments.   Definitely a conversation piece.
