Rescued from the junk box

[bodrighywood]

Ok who is going to say they should have been left there LOL. Three pieces from the junk box renovated: Oak vase 140mm x 120mm with big split filled with brass and stained to look old, yew vase with lid. 320mm tall. knot hole filled with powdered glass sitting on a marble base with ebonised disc to raise it a couple of mm, Yew vase 200mm x 150mm

Pete,

the aged effect on the Oak vase works, I honestly thought you'd hollowed an old round fence post at first.

The tall yew vase I like, the small foot to lift it away from the base could be smaller to hide it better, make it more of a floating effect. Not sure about the lid/finial, it's a bit strong with the sharp angles and heavy looking top part.

The last yew pot is a bit formless, the long straight sides make it look like a pencil pot, I know you said it's rescued from the firewood pile, so had no option of what you got, but this shape would work with a strongly coloured piece of yew, where the grain effect is the main feature.

    Like the chunky look of the first one Pete..... goes very well with the aged look..After viewing the last piece think it would

    look better without the foot, a bit like the first one.. Very Sorry Pete , but feel the middle piece would be better

    without the plinth/base, for us  it seems a tad too tall to sit on a base/plinth.
    Kind Regards
