This job was inspired by a ceramic vase acquired by my wife at an op shop. The original vase is unbranded and bears no marks or signature. I did like the shape and presented me with an opportunity to experiment. The body of the vase is silver ash acquired from John G in Tully. Must admit it is very nice silver ash. The panel is made from maple, sassafras and silver ash, that panel was a very challenging mathematical problem, for me any way, :-) to work out the size of the small pieces. The banding around the body is one of my own builds, I added that because I felt the sides were a bit bland. The body is 150mm diameter and about 200mm high. The body is segmented and hollow.

This will look good in the Turnfest Gallery!
Your patience is to be admired, not to mention a little bit of skill mixed in there.
