A Sugar Maple healed branch knot shaped into a low, elongated form reminiscent of a small canoe or boat. Its curved profile follows the natural contours of the knot, while the interior reveals figured maple with chatoyancy that shifts gently as the piece catches the light.

A partial ring of brass-filled epoxy traces the perimeter of a naturally hollowed section, creating the appearance of a solid metallic inlay within the wood. This detail contrasts with the irregular grain surrounding it, while light fuming adds warmth and definition to the maple.
