Bruce Perlmutter Hand Lathed Maple Vessel

Hand lathed, maple wood hollow form vessel crafted by wood artisan Bruce Perlmutter. The maple is from fallen trees local to Perlmutter and has light shimmery golden tones with a pretty grain. The lid is embellished by a process called “chatter work”, hand work done by holding a chatter tool at an angle to the lid, allowed the tool to vibrate against the wood. Each deflection and springback action leaves a cut resulting in the delicate, angular pattern.
