Carved Oak Leafs Gourd

The oak leafs gourd is carved for a slight bas-relief effect, pyroengraved, and painted with acrylics and finished with acrylic varnish. The top and bottom bands are not carved but left natural (except for the clear varnish), showing the stains and marks of the gourd. I also added real acorns randomly across the surface. These are from the Gambel Oak Trees in our yard. It is painted black inside. It stands approximately 7 1/4 inches high; 8 1/2 inch diameter; and has a 26 inch circumference.
