Turned a Vase for my Valentine!

[timf67]

I had fun turning my first vase yesterday. It has a glass bud vase inside so that it can hold water. The wood is maple that i found on a trash pile at one of my vendors! I saw it and asked if I could have it, and he said that he had planned on burning it :swoon: but he let me have it anyway. :eusa_danc

Here are some pics of the process. Finished with Tung oil and buffed with wax.

Tim, Nice job. I see you are putting the lathe and steady rest to good use.

:eusa_clap Nicely done. I like how the grain works its way up the side of the vase.
