Summer Moon celebrates the remarkable beauty of maple through the striking natural contrast between its richly colored heartwood and lighter sapwood. The flowing grain patterns create a sense of movement and warmth, allowing the wood's inherent character to become an essential part of the design. At the center, a hand-cut Kingman Blue Turquoise cabochon is surrounded by six vibrant 4mm red coral cabochons, creating a delicate balance of color and form. An outer ring of individually inlaid Kingman Blue Turquoise heishi beads completes the composition, adding intricate detail and a refined Southwestern influence. Combining the natural elegance of wood with the brilliance of turquoise and coral, this hand-turned platter reflects a harmonious blend of nature, artistry, and meticulous craftsmanship. Presented on its accompanying handmade wooden stand, Summer Moon becomes a captivating sculptural display.
