China Berry Bench – SOLD!

,

✴︎

I cut down a large China Berry tree near my house and had it cut into slabs. After studying the slabs for a few years, I found if I glued two slabs together (end to end), it would make a good bench back. Then the ideas started happening. After working out the dimensions, I found the back had some punky wood (very soft). I found a source of Arizona’s Kingsman mine turquoise. This is high quality turquoise and some say has healing properties. I used over 2 ½ lbs of turquoise and 6 coats of lacquer to finish the bench. The China Berry has very unusual grain patterns with hues that match Mahogany in beauty. This is a stunning bench that anyone would be proud to display. China Berry Slab: This slab came from the same tree as my bench. This piece is cut cross grain from the tree and then cut again in half. I found the sap wood was very punky so I inlaid turquoise which gives it a very distinctive look. They look like growth rings only blue/green. A very stunning art piece.
