Molten Glass on Rare Parasite Wood

Parasite Wood is a fascinating material that originates from a parasitic plant. This plant, which resembles a mushroom, embeds itself into the bark of a Chinaberry tree and derives its nourishment from the tree's sap2. Over time, the parasitic growth becomes extremely hard and dense, forming unique structures often referred to as "wood roses".

These parasite wood pieces are highly prized for their durability and intricate patterns. When the host tree dies and starts to decay, the parasite wood remains intact, making it an excellent material for carvings2. Balinese artisans often use parasite wood to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind carvings of animals, birds, and other decorative items
