My vase
Hi, This is my 3 thread on my objects.
1. My bowl
2. My box
3. Will be this thread
I made this vase around 1 week ago, this is the 5th vase I have made, I have only been turning vases for almost 2 weeks. Was able to get some free camphor laurel logs,---see this thread---so that triggered me into turning vases. Anyway, I have posted a poll with this thread, so you can help me improve my vase turning. Please post any other suggestions, and don't forget constructive critiscism.
Regards..........Joash

The vase looks great but I would like to see a white sheet as apposed to a table cloth in the background of your photos.

looks good to me
Hmmm, maybe a little more detail around the bottom and perhaps sharper edges/definiton to the neck area.....maybe.... cos the pic has not done it justice.
some of these things you just gotta have it in your hands to fully appreciate.
Bowls and such vessels are made to be picked up and have hands run over them...well I reckon anyway.

Good on you Joash. You've got some guts tackling a vase.
Proportions look pretty good from this angle but a side view would tell us more.
btw it's normal to post dimensions and finish with your pic.Cheers, Ern

Dimensions (sorry) + more
Sorry bout that, Dimensions are 450mm by 100mm thick. It is a lot bigger than what it looks is'nt it? I have posted some more pics, requested from Ern. The bottom of the vase, where it comes done and then goes to a straight part, is for the chuck jaws. When it is finished, I will turn it down to a proper base, and knock off the straight part. I got the 24 ich swan neck tool from Carbatech the other day, so that is making life a lot easier. I have just turned out the inside, so I have included a picture. The white stuff is electrical tape around the outside. I asked what I should do in this thread to keep the side from falling out. Got the idea from Skewy. Anyway thanks for the comments,
Regards.........Joash

Joash, you said "constructive criticism". Personally, I love the vase. I've made several that begin at the top with the beautiful curves, and then develop into a straight shot down to the bottom. I've sold all of those.
When I asked for comments from other turners, they all except one told me to never have a straight area in the side of a vase or bowl. They said it wasn't in good form. They say the straight area should always be in a gentle curve. I like those, too.
As I said earlier, I think this one is beautiful. Hard to hollow out, eh? You did good.
You didn't mention the thickness, so I'll add this: If you can make the thickness consistently the same throughout, it will do more to keep it from eventually cracking... over time.
Just my thoughts...Al
Some minds are like concrete thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.

I love this vase. Why? The shaping, it's in Camphor Laurel and well, it's speaking to me through just a photo
Lovely Lovely Lovely.....

Joash, as Ern said earlier, it's normal to post dimensions and finish with your pic.
What size is it & what have you put on it?Cliff.
If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Answes for everybody
Allright here goes. I have posted 2 vases in this thread. The first vase here is 185mm high and 120mm wide. It is coated in Shellawax cream. Camphor only comes up in a flat finish when used with Shellawax.--good for the flat-finish preferring customer It is hollowed down inside so that there is around 30mm left in the base to hold it steady. The whole wall on the inside is around 1/2 inch thick. The second vase here is 310mm high and 130mm wide(at the widest point). It was still drying when picture was taken. I put a high gloss lacqer on it. It is hollowed down so there is around 50mm left in the base to hold it steady.
My vases will be sold in 1 of 7 galleries.(Haven't decided yet). Often my work sits on the same shelf as Jack De Voss'es work
Some of the Galleries are.--All these are in Perth.
Woodcraft Galleries
Aspects--Kings Park
Malaga Markets
Joondalup furniture store
etc:
Hope this answers all questions. Want anymore info, just give us a yell.
Regards..........Joash
