    Default The vase

    Earlier this year I acquired a ute load of timber, mostly white beech. There were a few odd pieces in the pile. One was a piece of camphor laurel 250mm x 50mm x 600mm long. It didn't seem to have too much colour and was headed for the fire. It had a few deep cracks that made it useless for a bowl or platter. I ran it through the planner and bingo. Then I remembered that Tea Lady once made a comment, "I wonder if he will cut up a board and glue it back together. Well here is the answer to that.
    The vase measures 150mm high and 160mm diameter. Wall thickness is 6mm, finished with sanding sealer and three thin coats of Mirotone 60%, then the gloss removed with 0000 steel wool.
    C and C welcome...
    Jim

    And you are to be commended for setting Tea Lady's mind at rest

    Love your work Jim, it's always a pleasure to see your accomplishments even though I've never really been a fan of segmented work.
    This piece is really different, and an awesome result.
    Cheers, Ian

    Jim,Good see your branching out, hollow vessels next ? I see its up to your usual standard of fine glues lines, good shape and form, gets my vote

    Thanks Hughie. Naaah, been there, done that. Have had difficulty turning bowls and platters from a single piece of wood for a while now.
