Bud Vases!!!

[LandfillLumber]

Hello, some of my bud vases I make,these are gifts for the holidays.The first one is for a contest we are having in our turning club,we all got a piece of laminated/dyed wood and had t make something with it(anything).The second one is a figured Ash,I don't like the shape of this one(oh well).The last two are Sycamore I really like the color differences in the wood.Thanks for looking,Victor

I personally like the Ash grain. The form of number 1 is pleasing.

How thick are the 'walls' on those turnings? And the sizes would be cool to know too....




Like the segmented(first couple of photo's), and the last one too! Great eye-catching shapes.

The vases are made with a 21/32" hole drilled I don't hollow them,and the extra weight is a good thing.This also makes them rather easy and fast to make,its not like a hollow form when you want the piece to weigh as little as possible.I gusee you could hollow them but then the tube would kind of float.I make then from 5-7" tall and use mostly 2" stock.I have started to use a ittle bigger stock 2-1/4 to 2-1/2" square for the last few I have made and I like both forms fat and skinny(just like women I find beauty in all of them).Thanks for the kind words,Victor
