"The Hive" Vase turned on the lathe, made from resin, walnut wood & beehive honey comb ArtForOUR.org

"The Hive" was an interesting project combining some beautiful walnut wood, clear resin and honeycomb I salvaged from some rogue beehive activity. The vase stands 10 in tall and 10 in wide, weighing 5 lbs. Finished with coating resin.
