this wood pumaquiro is a real nice wood to turn if you know how to cut otherwise the side grain will tore up also it soak humidity like cracy so I had to put a lamp inside the vase so it will dry in time for delivery to a friend to take back to the states ,comments welcome

>Eduardo,
This is one of my favorite's that you have shared. I like the overall form and size of the mouth in relation to the body of the piece. The wood selection is beautiful. I do wish you had tapered from the shoulders of the vase to the bottom and made the base a little smaller but I'm certain that the new owner will be completely satisfied. Good work once more.

>Lovely work. Why make a neck of another species?
And, did you turn the neck to match the bottom after it was complete?
Thanks
Your other vases are beautiful too. What is the figured wood?
