Stick Vases by Jim Lorriman

Each vase is made from sticks from the same species of tree.

Some pieces are made from single branches. These pieces are usually oriented and in sequential order - meaning that when the branch is cut to make the components of the vase, the orientation and sequence of each cut piece is maintained relative to the other parts of the branch. Patterns produced by a branch of spalted maple can be quite stunning when displayed in this way.
