Unfortunately there were two small repairs on this Beautiful Red Solo Cup Holder !!! During the turning of this beautiful piece, a knot in the bottom worked loose so I repaired the hole with medium crack filler glue, and the second repair is at the bottom of the marker hole on the inside of the cup holder which I also repaired with medium crack filler glue. The best part is that it did not destroy this beautiful cup holder.. Spalted Hackberry, Celtis occidentalis, is a medium-size deciduous tree native to North America. Also known as the Nettletree or Beaverwood, it is a moderately long-lived hardwood with a light yellowish gray to light brown color with yellow streaks. Some Hackberry produces striking black lines that provide a stunning contrast. The leaves are distinctly asymmetrical and coarse-textured; the cork-like bark has wart-like protuberances. The Hackberry tree produces small berries that turn orange-red to dark purple in the autumn, often staying on the trees for several months. Here is an interesting fact that some people may not realize. "The lines on a solo cup are like a measuring cup."
