Gene Sparling's work never ceases to amaze and inspire.  Through his work with wood, Sparling seeks to highlight the unique beauty of each piece, while creating vessels, sculptures, and furniture that complement their natural roots.  This square creation can be used to hold small items or just be on display as an amazing piece of art.
