More pretties from John's shop. These weedpots (suitable for dried vegetation) are made of wood from a fallen tree that had been down so long that the bark was gone, and he couldn't identify it. Redbud, possibly. What ever it is, it turned out to have a gorgeous grain.
Two of the little pots cracked. Yay--a chance for some kintsugi! This one is especially nice as he filled the crack with two different resin mixtures-turquoise and brass.
No kitsugi below--just some beautiful markings.
Below, another kintsugi with blue resin.
If anyone has a clue as to what this wood might be, I'd love to know. Maybe there's a wood grain identifier app.

My goodness he does excellent work! These are lovely.
Gorgeous workmanship, but aren’t you supposed to fill the cracks with gold? Come on guys. 🤓
How lovely thesee all are!
Absolutely gorgeous pieces!
Vicki, a number of wood grain identifier apps are available. Just google that phrase and they'll come up.
