Plum hollow vessel is 9" high by 6.5" wide. This is a very dense wood. Even hollowed to 1/4" it is very heavy. But my lady loves it. It got an OH! MY GOODNESS! from her. the cracks are filled with brass shavings that I got from my local locksmith. They look neat with the occasional chrome showing through. just sanded to 1000 and buffed and waxed.
