The Carved Brazier is a fire bowl set on a sturdy carved wooden stand. It is one of the brazier designs sold as recipes by Robin, and it sits near the top of that range on price. Only the Skull and Marble Braziers cost more to learn. Its frame is made from Hardwood, the dense timber that also goes into casks, cheese presses and farmhouse upgrades. Lit or unlit, it adds a crafted, solid look to gardens, paths and porches.
Recipe
The recipe is bought from Robin at the Carpenter's Shop. It is a pricier choice than the Wooden, Stone, Barrel or Stump designs, so it often comes later, once the farm has spare gold.
Building one takes a little Hardwood and a single piece of Coal. Hardwood comes from Large Stumps, which need at least a Copper Axe, and from Large Logs, which need a Steel Axe. Mahogany Trees also drop it with any axe. The best steady supply is the Secret Woods in Cindersap Forest. A Large Log blocks the way in until a Steel Axe clears it. Inside, six Large Stumps grow back every day, each one worth two pieces of Hardwood. A single daily visit there gathers enough for one brazier with some to spare. Coal comes from breaking rocks in the Mines, or from turning spare Wood into Coal in a Charcoal Kiln.
The timber bill is double what the Stump Brazier asks, and the two draw on exactly the same supply. A farm short of Hardwood can get much the same woodland feel for half the material, so this design is worth the extra only when the stand itself is wanted.
A Large Log is the find that settles the question. One of them yields several times what a stump gives, which can cover a brazier in a single swing once the Steel Axe is in hand.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Use
The Carved Brazier can go indoors or outdoors. A click on it lights the flame, and another click puts it out. When burning, it throws a moderate light over the nearby tiles, enough to brighten a seating area or the space in front of a building.
The flame carries about seven tiles, the same distance as the cheapest fire Robin sells. The carving is what the gold buys.
The wood is stained the same deep brown as a Mahogany Tree trunk. Standing one of these beside planted mahogany makes the pair look deliberate, which is the sort of small agreement that lifts a tidy farm above a functional one.

Notes
Hardwood is in demand all through the game. The second farmhouse upgrade, the Stable and the Construction Bundle all call for it. Crafting decorations from it is easiest once those big projects are paid for.
The recipe is a single purchase that covers every fire of this kind the farm will ever want. After that each new one costs only what the Secret Woods hands over in a morning, which turns an expensive-looking decoration into one of the cheaper ones to repeat.
