Wow Tim that is some beautiful wood. Most of the easy wood to get around here is cherry, water maple, walnut, sycamore, hickory, all of the oaks, and Bradford pear. I don’t like to turn oak.

The hardest part is waiting for them to dry so they can be finish turned.

I had the vase sitting on the shelf drying. I have been wanting to try basket illusion and saw the vase and thought that will work. After finishing it I found out dark wood is a bad choice, not a lot of color choice for ink. I put the vase in a Chuck and trued it back up. Then I turned all of the beads with a beading tool. I made an indexing system for my lathe to draw the vertical lines. Once I had the lines on I burned them with a Burnmaster wood burner. Then I color in the squares according to the pattern I had planned. You need to figure out a pattern first so you know how many lines to draw. After the coloring was done I hollowed it out and parted it off. This is a picture of the indexing system I made. I can make and print any number of lines with my CAD software.

It is walnut. It is 6.25” tall and 4” in diameter. I hollowed it to 3/8” thick.
