materials & origin
Black spruce burl. Found near Haines Junction, Yukon.
Edge of Kluane is crafted from a black spruce burl found near Haines Junction, close to Kluane National Park. This is a landscape of wide skies and rugged mountains, where forests give way to vast icefields.
The bowl retains much of its original form. The rim follows the natural curve of the burl, and the outer surface remains wild, textured by growth, age, and time. Wormholes mark the passage of smaller lives, while the grain tells a deeper story—rings layered with cold seasons, brief summers, and long waits.
The piece was refined, not altered—sanded by hand to reveal the warmth beneath the bark, yet left honest in its shape and scars.
Edge of Kluane is a vessel that reflects its origins—strong, quiet, and shaped by the extremes of its environment.
