Ya ha ha! You found it! This handmade wood bud vase features a Korok, from the Legend of Zelda video game series. The vase is made by hand from African Mahogany, Walnut, Red Oak, and Maple wood. The front Maple panel features a cut-out design, allowing the African Mahogany wood below to be revealed. The design is inspired by the pattern seen on pine cones. The Korok takes center stage on the panel, with their memorable leaf-shaped mask. The leaf-shaped mask stands just slightly proud of the surface, adding a three-dimensional effect.
The side panels are a handmade laminate of three woods: Walnut, Maple, and African Mahogany. The Walnut is edge-matched to give a wrapping effect to the rear Walnut panel. The top and bottom of the vase are Red Oak.
The vase includes a handmade wooden flower, roughly in the shape of a tulip. The center of the flower features a contrasting wooden bud, also handmade. The stem of the flower is solid brass.
The vase has a watertight insert, so if you would like to display cut, live flowers, you absolutely can! The vase is finished with a tough water-resistant finish that also resists scratches, scuffs, and dings, so it can shrug off splashes of water as you refill the vase for your live flowers.
The smaller size of this bud vase is suitable for single-stem flowers or smaller, lighter flower combinations. So while it will not hold a dozen roses, it will hold your wooden flower or a smaller flower selection in style!
Since each bud vase and flower are handmade from wood (and each piece of wood is unique) there will be some variation in grain patterns and details in the wood.
