One section reveals delicate, fossil-like insect tracings — natural tunnels formed beneath the bark long before the piece was made — adding unique surface texture and history.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\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":51911681737045,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/3001\/3269\/files\/TVP_Bale_Batch2-17.jpg?v=1763126186","url":"https:\/\/thevenetianpantry.com\/products\/bala-no-13","provider":"The Venetian Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
