Wild and erratic, this is a work-of-art for lovers of eccentricity. "Mars" combines the perfection of uniform lathe-work, tight grain eye-burl on the topside, flame patterns on the sides and base, with hollow-form voids combined with the chaotic "storms," the anomalies so characteristic of the fourth planet from the Sun.
