"On Fire" Box Elder

[Gary Max]

So there was one big square of Box elder that was cut funny and just would not stack with the others.

This vase will be about 14 inchs tall

I cut the center half out and tossed it up on the lathe---the ends are listed for sale. I hope to get-r-done today.

 

[Manny]

wow Gary. Just wow. Makes me wish I owned a bigger lathe.

Manny---look at the back ground----I had to stack some of the wood between the lathe and my layout table-----I am really running out of space.

good golly, that is some gorgeous wood..lucky you...sorry you are jammed up with wood...it's sad...so very sad...Max I feel 'fer 'ya

 

[Bree]

Wow! There's a lot of pen blanks in that chunk of wood!! LOL! That's going to be a 200 pen vase!!

 

[rjwolfe3]

That is beautiful!

 

[leehljp]

I agree -that is a beautiful piece of wood. The double flames - the red and the chatoyance grain are stunning together. That will make a VERY pricey vase.

 

[Gagler]

now that is going to turn out beautiful....please show a picture of the final!

Looks great Gary! Hate that it will have to be displayed in a room with no natural light.

Wow! I can't wait to see the finished vase! Alice

 

[Gary Max]

Alice ---I am headed out right now to Get-r-done.
It's a bear to hollow out a vase this deeeeeeep.
I did cut up a bunch of pen blanks from the same block of wood --they are super nice.

The color and the grain in the wood are beautiful. I am eager to see the final piece.

 

[johnnycnc]

OMG! that is going to be a showpiece ya got there Gary.

 

[Gary Max]

Here she is fresh off the lathe---she stands about 14 inchs tall and 6 inchs at the widest point.
The shape is a very simple "Jar"-----now she gets to nap for about a week.
Now go buy some Box Elder pen blanks from me----we have reduced the price of the blanks----------:biggrin:
Thanks and hope you enjoy
