Cherry Burl Vase

Ron in Drums PA

>8-1/2" high x 4-1/2" wide x 1/4" thick.

Danish Oil

This is from the same burl as my cherry burl bowl.

This was finished about 6-8 weeks ago. While I was turning I found I was a bit to aggressive and the walls where about 5/16" thick. I decided to complete the turning while it was on the lathe and crossed my fingers. It cracked a little (as is noticed on the bottom right) and warped a little. But I think it will hold up fine. Today My wife placed in some Christmas holly it looks very festive for the holidays.

As always, your critiques are welcomed. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for looking.

>Hi Ron,

I like this vase very much. I've been eyeing this form for a while but have yet to go this direction after I start something. I really like the shape and the figure in the wood. I can just imagine that that it looks great with some holly in it!

Merry Chirstmas!

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>Hi Ron,

I like it. Sort of a mix of classical styling and a rustic look thing going there. I like the wood. Thanks for the pic.

>Beautiful piece of wood and work, Ron. I would think a drop of CA and some dust in that crack would make it disappear.

Merry Christmas to all! Phil
