CN Charred Maple Arm Tray/Object
This Charred Maple Wood Arm Tray/Vessel by Christian Nyberg is a striking study in gesture, memory, and material transformation. Shaped like an abstracted arm cradling a bowl, the piece evokes both protection and offering—its contours raw yet intentional. Burned using Nyberg’s signature process—where hardwood embers are applied to the surface, scraped away, and fired again—the charred finish reveals deep cracks, weathered textures, and fire-forged valleys across the grain.
The upward sweep of the “hand” creates a natural pause in the form, while the body of the tray curves softly inward—welcoming objects or simply the gaze. A small brass dot punctuates the piece near what feels like a knuckle, adding a quiet accent to the otherwise elemental surface. Both sculptural and functional, this vessel feels like a relic from a future ritual—anchored in the present by touch, time, and flame.
