Walnet Vase
« on: June 09, 2017, 03:14:31 PM »
  First time in ages had a few moments to kill so picked up an offcut of Walnut and a short spell on the lathe.

Measures 4" high and 2 3/4" at its widest about 3 or 4mm thick. Finished with sanding sealer then Renaissance wax.

Cheers Martin.

Hi Martin,

I think the dimensions say more Pot than Vase to me but I like the effect that has been created by the way you've cut the wood, leaving the growth wood over the heartwood with the much stronger grain.

 The orientation  of this piece of wood really suits the piece Martin.
