Each piece is handmade from standing, dead Aspen trees by Donnie Noble. As a seventh-generation Coloradan, Donnie takes great care to preserve our forests by cautiously harvesting trees that are a fire danger. We now offer two finish options, our classic gloss, which brings out the character and depth of the wood, or our modern matte, which is a more natural look. *Multiple coats of varnish ensures a product that could last generations. *Each vase is hand-crafted. Making it unique in its shape and color. *Glass insert required for water for fresh flowers. (See Variations during checkout)
