The Japanese Art of Ikebana became a favorite pastime for me several years ago and as a woodworker I enjoyed making Ikebana Vases and /or Ikebana Stands. Being fortunate enough to live in Hawaii I have been surrounded by beautiful wood and between the two loves I started making these Ikebana Vases.

This Ikebana stand is from a piece of Olive Wood. Visually, olive wood has a strikingly rich and colorful appearance, which makes it perfect for use in decorative objects. Its color features are highly contrasting brown lines and yellow streaks of sapwood, and even more importantly, the surface of olive wood can be easily polished to a high degree. Olive Wood has a distinct, pleasant, and sweet odor during cutting, and this odor usually remains present in the finished product for several years. I noticed this while working on this, however after applying several coats of lacquer I don't detect any discernible odor.
Note: After years of spraying lacquer I may not have the best sense off smell.


This Olive Wood Piece is approximately 17 inches long, 4 to 7 inches wide and 1 1/2 inches tall. This Olive Wood Vase comes with a three inch lip Kenzan (pin frog) made of brass with a Brass Antique finish. I am also adding a second Kenzan (pin frog) with a Black Pewter finish as a gift. Perhaps you can keep a more permanent dry arrangement in one of them for when you don't have fresh flowers. Both of these Kenzans appear in this listing. The Dried Eucalyptus Leaves of green and purple are used in this setting instead of fresh flowers to give you and idea of what kind of arrangements can be used.

This piece was free formed by myself with the use of my bandsaw and orbital sanders to provide a natural piece of practical art used for flower arrangements. The Deep Red Color is the natural color of Curly Hawaiian Milo and is finished with a Precatalyzed lacquer finish so it won't spot with spilled water.

It will be shipped by USPS Priority mail anywhere in the United States.

If you do not like the Ikebana Vase upon receipt you may return it for a no questions asked refund of your purchase price upon return of vase with shipping paid by you.


The Flowers in the pictures are not included in the sale as I'm sure you can find much better flowers in your yard.
