Ikebana Vase

This Ikebana vase was a design featured on woodmagazine.com. My dear wife has a friend on a social website that has been gracious to us. In return I found this design and decided to give it to her as a gift.

So I decided to learn what an Ikebana vase is. It comes from Japanese culture and focuses more on simplicity and other parts of the flower besides just the petals. Ikebana, according to Wikipedia, is more of a type of arrangement. Ikebana vases are meant to hold live flowers similar to that of a lily. Usually the flower has to be able to grow in a small amount of soil. (Small and strong root base.)

Now the vase...

The vase is made of Black Rift Walnut with a medium Walnut Stain. The base is Bamboo Plywood. If you look closely you can see the layers in the plywood. Bamboo is finished naturally. A votive candle candle holder is inserted into the top of the vase.
