【COLLECTIBLE】Kiyoto Hoshika Maple Specimen Stand - Brown
This maple specimen stand, designed to display COLLECTIBLE PEARL, was crafted by recorder and flute maker Kiyoto Hoshika.
Both the base and the glass dome are one size larger than the earlier version.
It was made using a wood lathe, where the wood is rotated and carved, the same method used to make woodwind instruments.
Maple is the wood used for recorders and other instruments. It is smooth to the touch and has a silky luster.
This piece is painted dark brown and finished with linseed oil, which is also used in recorder making.
*The boxwood version in the same color has been discontinued.
Its rich, classic appearance beautifully highlights the pearl.
With its elegant curves crafted with exquisite handwork and the beauty of the wood grain, this unique specimen stand was made especially for pearls.
It is also available in an unpainted natural color.
