Handcrafted Padauk Driftwood Bud Vase

This distinctive bud vase was handcrafted from a section of Padauk driftwood found on the beach in Ferring, Sussex in 2023.

Padauk is a rare and exceptionally dense tropical hardwood known for its deep red heartwood and natural durability — perfect for objects meant to last a lifetime.

The cut interior faces have been hand-finished and French polished, revealing the rich red tones and fine grain that Padauk is loved for. 

The vase includes a central opening suitable for a single bloom, dried stems, or reed diffusers.
