VanEss Expressions ~ creating unique handcrafted vases & wood bowls. Each piece is individually hand-turned making it an original, one-of-a-kind piece of wood art.
Hand-Turned Wood Vases ~ Unique vases & bowls come in a variety of shapes, sizes and woods. Each individually turned from either solid stock or glued up pieces of hardwood. We cannot absolutely duplicate any item.
Decorative Bowls & Vases ~ Our wood vases & bowls look as good on the inside as on the outside, and make unique decorative pieces, besides functional containers.
Multi-Wood Vases & Bowls provide Color & Character ~ Combining different woods produce unique designs and add interest. The additional time needed for the extra slicing and glue-up is more than compensated for by the end result.
Flower Vases ~ Flower vases are made to hold stems tight so that your dried or silk bouquet stays together. We also have some wood vases that come with inserts so they can be used for fresh flowers.
VanEss Expressions is more than Vases & Bowls. VanEss Expressions is a small Minneapolis familiy business, creating unique & unusual, original & custom wood gifts, clocks, home decor & home furnishings, hand-turned vases & bowls, and distinctive wood furniture.
VanEss Expressions is all about Wood
All of our pieces are 100% solid hardwood ~ no pine, plywood, or laminates. We use a variety of wood stains & dyes to enhance the grain or add color- but we never paint wood.
VanEss Expressions is all about Quality
Each item is individually & personally handcrafted by us ~ from the original design, to the selection of the wood, to the very last coat of varnish ~ and we do it one piece at a time.
VanEss Expressions is all about Customer Satisfaction
We stand behind our work and work with our customers. Most of our sales are from repeat business or referrals ~ and that's the way we like it.
