Vasi

[Sevilla]

Hello everybody, recently I started to do vases. Here are two examples.
The first is a pysographycalle decorated vase made from black cherry, 7 inch high, the second from spalted hard maple with holes from  long horn beetle.
Oil and carnauba wax.
Thanks for watching and C and C are welcomed.
Regards

Sevilla I really do like the pyrography on the 1st picture, lovely work.

Thank you for your nice words.

Sevilla,

You have the ability to turn such simple pyrographic effects into such stunning artwork on your turned work, almost like the minimilist Japanese folower arranging art.

I had to look carefully at the second picture to see the Longhorned beetle hole though, always nice to see timber with a 'History' being turned and not consigned to the firewood pile.

Hi Sevilla....I've come back to this thread a few times, trying to see if anything changes my mind, but nope! I really like the first vase for its shape and for the pyrography, which seems to be representing Japanese flowering cherry (perfectly apt for a cherry vase). However, I'm not so keen on the second piece - for me, the neck is too high.

Thak you for your time and comments always very much appreciated.

Hi Sevilla, These are 2 beautifully turned pieces, perfect in design, detail and finish. Sure is one large beetle hole, nice to see you'd kept it, makes the piece.

 Well done and cheers  David

I like the first one very much but have to agree about the neck of the second. A touch to high for me,
