The surface shows pronounced natural cracking and subtle movement in the grain, revealing the density and fine texture of the wood. A darker vein runs through one side, contrasting with lighter sapwood and adding definition to the form. The piece has a smooth, waxed finish that enhances its natural sheen while preserving visible signs of age and growth.\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 sourced in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the far north-east of Italy, close to the Slovenian border. Each one is hand-turned from storm-fallen wood — apple, plum, elm — gathered from the surrounding forests. The maker, who prefers to remain anonymous, works slowly and intuitively, allowing the natural character of each piece of salvaged wood to guide the final form.\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":51911799800149,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/3001\/3269\/files\/TVP_Bale_Batch2-30b.jpg?v=1765302340","url":"https:\/\/thevenetianpantry.com\/products\/bala-no-15","provider":"The Venetian Pantry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
