- Look closely -- the 6 inch vase is flawed.
Sometimes it's not cool to go too far with making the wall of a turning too thin. I actually didn't break through doing the turning; it happened while sanding. The waffle edge on the sanding disk caught the top rim of the turning and one of the waffle points bent up and tore the hole when it hit. I taught my sanding disk a few new words and decided I'd finish it anyway. My alternative design shelf will enjoy the company. But I still needed a vase so i used my last piece of red maple and made a second one. The first is 6 inches high x 3 inch diameter. The second [below] is 7 inch tall x 3 inch diameter.
As usual the finish is Deft gloss lacquer and buffed with Beal system.

- 7 inch vase
By the way: you may notice that there is a significant amount of spalting on these pieces. In fact, the spalting had gone a bit too far and there were very punky areas noticeable on the end grain of the top and bottom. It's hard to feature that, but otherwise the vases were marginally ok [note the small OK used here].
