Ancient ceramic vase for ceremonial purposes
Museum of La Paz Bolivia, 2004

Imagine a vase large enough to stand within

Imagine the vase was turned from a single tree, a unique specimen possibly hundreds or thousands of years old.

This is what Vince Manna imagined and now he has turned it into an inspired reality.

In ancient times skilled craftsman made large urns from ceramics and stone for functional and ceremonial purposes.

In his worldwide travels Vince has studied these ancient forms with their flowing lines and massive scale, and used them for inspiration to create a contemporary range of massive timber vases.

To create something of such monolithic proportion Vince had to scour Australia and the world seeking out whole trees in exotic native timbers. Mostly these logs are saved from wood chipping or are by products of other logging operations which are then turned into these magnificent vases that truly reflect the value of the trees from which they came.

Much innovation was required to overcome the many hurdles and technical challenges to manage and turn trees of this size and allow the vases to have wall thicknesses down to an amazing three millimetres. The process for each vase can take up to hundreds of hours to complete and the exacting technique and attention to detail shines out in the superb craftsmanship of each unique vase.

The scale of these vases requires trees of incredible girth, age and quality. Each log is turned in response to its natural shape and features, each vase is a unique work of art drawing on the natural beauty of the tree from which it evolves.

Now you can inherit an inspired work of art and share its timeless beauty for generations to come. Timberline can design a vase specifically for you or you can choose from completed vases in the following timbers; Blackwood, Huon Pine, Sassafras, Red Gum, Ancient Red Gum, Jarrah , Myrtle and more.

Each tree is unique and can include highly figured grains, Burl, Birdseye and natural holes created in the tree over its lifetime. Timberline can match vases to its custom furniture range and create single or pairs of vases that will enhance your living space and provide an exiting and valuable investment for years to come.

Massive Logs

Weighing at just under two tons before the turning process, this amazing log of Huon Pine rich in birdseye figure and burl was salvaged from the Huon Pine Resource Area in 1992.

The site is an old worked and harvested bush reserve (since the late 1890's - early 1900's) and is located adjacent to the King River near Teepookana Forest Reserve, Queenstown, on the west coast of Tasmania.
