You'll Never Guess What I Made!

White oak shrink pot , black walnut bottom
Carved with hand tools
This little vessel is called a shrink pot. A shrink pot is made with a green branch that's been hollowed out and one end is plugged with a disc. As the branch dries, it shrinks, squeezing the disc and making a nice container.
These can be tricky to get right because if it shrinks too much they will crack.
