    Default Ashe vase with wedges

    Today l show you how i made a Vase out of ash tree wood


    The log was 164 KG at the beginnig


    The hollowing was quite hard when i got closer to the core wood, the tool was jumping a lot


    il use several wooden wedges the stop the big crack and in the core wood to avoid the cracks there as well


    I sanded it up to 500 grit, then i used woodturner oil for the first finish to dry it much slower


    High: 51cm
    Diameter: 46cm
    Thickness: 10mm


    hope you enjoy it

    Kind Greetings
    Roger

    I enjoyed watching your video. Your use of the term 'wedge' had me intrigued, I call these 'bow ties', they are quite decorative and certainly do the job of saving a chunk of wood from the firewood pile. When you were doing the hollowing, I thought the timber resembled some sort of olive.

    Also called a butterfly joint, dovetail key, Dutchman joint, or Nakashima joint

    George Nakashima is the best known exponent of it.

    Saw these nice examples at the Georg Jensen gallery in Copenhagen not so long ago.

    Stay sharp and stay safe!
