These were all turned? WOW!
What kind of timeline did this occupy? I'm sure it was a little longer then turning a slimline....nicely done!
Thinking a little RedOak stain on the flowers, and some green dye on the stems would make these just POP!!!

Thanks for looking appreciate your comments.
I have been turning flowers for many years in different ways, between centers, inside-out, and now completely on the lath with blank in my chuck.
Only flowers that take a lot of time are inside-out flowers. Provided a link with instruction last time made inside out flowers. Turning between centers and complete flower on the lathe take about same time as completing a pen.
My wife is letting me slide on not painting stems green this time but that may happen later. I also fooled around with painting some flowers different colors but have not completed them yet.
There are some really excellent You Tube video which can explain how to better than I can.
I am turning into end grain, on those flowers that had lot of torn end grain which could not fix I attempt to hide shown in this picture.

Very pretty flowers! Like every style and design of them. They will look great on any table as centerpieces, very decorative. Excellent turning pieces!
