Honey Locust Vase

[Gary Max]

Fresh off the lathe---Honey Locust Vase
Honey Locust is a super nice hardwood to turn when it's green ---this little vase is 8 inches tall and 3 inches round at the base.
The blank is from the same wood I have listed for sale.
Thanks

Very nice, Gary. Could we please see a photo with the bowl turned a bit to the left to show the grain on the right side?

Cav -----later today this little vase we do some showing off.
The pic is of the fancy side---wait till you see the rest.
Did I mention I am selling Blanks of Honey Locust???????

It's pretty nice. At only 3" wide, what do you use to hollow it out?

Is this the same Honey Locust that has 4" thorns growing down the trunk of the tree??

I had a couple of those things in my back yard... still trying to kill the d... stump after cutting it down a years and half ago... some of mine has spalted and makes nice turnings..

Been doing a lot of research on honey locust since I identified one that was knocked over by a tulip poplar in a recent storm. Not all Honey Locust have thorns, but they are well known for having them.

nice piece of wood. I like the form too....simple and it brings out the grain pattern in the wood too. Great job
