The surface shows an irregular grain with pronounced horizontal growth lines and darker figuring. A visible area of natural weathering and cracking adds texture and depth, highlighting the material’s organic character. The finish is smooth with a soft sheen, revealing the density and fine grain typical of plum wood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThese sculptural wooden spheres are crafted by a Friulian artisan near Martina’s family vineyard, close to the Slovenian border. Made from pieces of fallen or broken trees found in the surrounding woods—often collected after storms—each sphere is shaped and finished by hand, giving new form and purpose to salvaged materials. The maker, who prefers to remain anonymous, works slowly and intuitively, allowing the natural character of the wood to guide each piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003ch6 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eFoliage shown for styling purposes only and not included with the piece.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Il mio negozio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51911339049301,"sku":null,"price":300.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/3001\/3269\/files\/TVP_Bale_Batch2-2b.jpg?v=1765302282","url":"https:\/\/thevenetianpantry.com\/products\/bala-no-11","provider":"The Venetian Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
