Thread: camphour vase

looks nice but would really like to see some more pics with better lighting

I agree it looks great would like to see some better pictures as well. How did you go working with the camphour some say it can be a bit on the senses.

Camphor inhale the beauty nice work yes agree photo needs better lighting its a little green looking. This could be reflection/colour bounce from surrounding area.

Looks nice. You managed to get the wings nice and even . Were you able to avoid any checking in the base?

Okay, so the lighting is off.

The strange thing is before fully reading the article I thought that you'd stained the timber with a very thin wash of colour and thought how attractive it was.

maybe time to experiment with a little colour.

I took the liberty to fix the colour hope you don't mind.

They do look good

look fatastic . If I ever make anything looking that good I will be a very happy chappy!
cheers

nice

Quality work

The green cast is probably caused by flouro lights,use incandescent on either side and /or correct the white balance if possible manually

End grain hollowing. How did you treat/with deal with the foot?
Lovely work

hi guys ,
sorry for not repling sooner,have been a bit busy and have
also been a bit crook,anyway thanks for the comments
for some reason those photos came out a funny colour
my partner keeps marine fish and had a spare light with
differant colour tubes ,blue/white etc,she was not using it
so i thought it would be of better use above my lathe ,it seems to be
good for extra light over the lathe but maybe not for
photography.i had a look for the vase to take some more photos
but not sure where i put it
anyway thanks to wheelinaround for fixing up the previous photos
will put some more photos when i can
thanks again the your comments and input,always appreciated
cheers smiife

Very nicely done.
