Ambrosia Maple Hollow Form

This beautiful and decorative piece was made from locally sourced Ambrosia Maple wood in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York. It has been completely hollowed out and is purely for decoration. Ambrosia beetles bore into wood, introducing a fungus that creates beautiful streaking patterns as it colonizes the wood, visible in this piece. This unique collaboration among the beetle, fungus, and wood produces visually appealing designs highly sought after in woodworking.
