    Banksia vase

    Rather simple, but wanted to leave some of the interesting outer layer and red "fur" showing on the bulb. 8" tall x 4". Friction polish finish.

    Nice work Rick! Nice form - but you have to admit - that Banksia is some strange looking stuff! Looks like it had to be a challenge to turn!

    I can see the Cheech and Chong have had some influence on your work. It might work a bit better without all of those holes.

    Great piece.
