    Default Vase made of a glue up model

    Had a lot of different wood scraps laying around in the woodstore, like panga panga, teak, oak, yellow pine and yellow/brown meranti.
    So nice for something special, and well a glue up model. Not the first time I did.
    I turned free hand a vase out of it, the nicest thing is when nice spots appears.
    Used my own made chuck for this turning.
    The vase is 150mm in height, and 125mm in the largest diameter. Finished with two layers Glitsa and polished.
    Thanks for looking.

    Cheers. Ad

    Very nice job Ad. I can't see what the red on the inside might be, or is it a photographic "thing"?

    Interesting effect you've come up with there, Ad. Sometimes it's surprising how these pieces finish up after you've turned the square stuff round, isn't it? Nice job.

    nice job Ad! Any chance of a break down of the layout you used to glue up the pieces?

    That looks great,

    I can't get my mind around the glueup for it, can you describe it a bit please.

    beautiful indeed but may i ask how on earth did you get the oval in it. I can see the straight lines are glue up but are they angled pieces? That is just beautiful

    Top notch effort and results, Ad. It's amazing you got the outside slabs so perfectly centered. At such a shallow profile angle, most of my attempts would go clear off the rails, i.e. none of the ovals' tops and bottoms at the same horizons. Any special tricks you found to help?
