July 29, 20196 yr Popular Post Going to turn my first vase. It will be small, around 7 high and 3 diameter. It will be made out of padauk and cedar. I am in the glue up process right now.
July 30, 20196 yr While not much to look at during a glue up you have to start somewhere. So far this looks to be a masterpiece.

August 19, 20196 yr Don't forget dust protection for your eyes and a dust mask. Some of the exotic woods can set off allergies and cause other problems.

August 23, 20196 yr That turned out very well . Like the way the light wood seems to cross itself. You have given me an idea but will need a bottle cutter. Cut the bottom off a wine bottle and invert for liner for flower vase, or cut the top of it.
August 23, 20196 yr Author I bought a small 2 inch glass vase from Hobby Lobby to put in it so she could use water. That was the smallest one they had. I like your wine bottle idea.
August 23, 20196 yr I like it a lot. I must also compliment you on your pictures. All of them are very good.
August 23, 20196 yr The look is very unique. The way the maple appears to be bent and wrapped is beautiful.
