cedar vase

[turnerted]

G'day
Here is an Australian Red Cedar vase that I have recently completed. About160mm diam and 290mm deep . Finish is about 5 coats of DO.
Probably my deepest hollowing job to date.

It will darken with age as well.
Good work, looks very neat.

Thanks for your comments.
Greg I actually finished turning and sanding it about 6 months ago and had it sitting in a bright place while it was going a bit darker before I applied the finish .

Nice one Ted!!:2tsup::2tsup::2tsup:

Love the grainpattern, but then that is what good ARC is all about.


Don't know about the darkening. Prolonged exposure to bright sunshine will actually fade the colour.

There is an obvious darkening after about an hour exposure of cedar to light.

I did say PROLONGED exposure.

I have a bedmade from ARC and the side that gets exposed to the sun is very pale - almost yellow.

A fellow up the road had an ARC vase that stood on a table near a window. Over a period of about 4 years the half of the vase that was exposed to the sun had faded to a pale yellow.

Freshly cut ARC that I have see looks like beetroot, bt as it dries and is exposed to light it darkens to the colour we all associate with ARC>
