Hi Bob,

It seems that everyone is making vases, great to see...!:wink:

Like what you've done with that vase but, Red Gum...? is it a species that grows down there...? In Aussie land that would be either Yellow or Sugar Gum, Sugar Gum spalts in a similar way here more than the yellow one.

I'm intrigued, sorry...!:wink:

Cheers
George

Nice shape, bet that was a challenge to turn. Love the beautiful spalting. What finish did you use?

I'm no wood expert, all I can say is that I bought what was said to be Red Gum. It its something else I don't know.

I sanded to 400 and applied two coats of Yorkshire Grit. Then two coats of Mylands friction polish. Thanks!
