Maple Vase

[Bernie Weishapl]

Here is a maple vase I turned also that wanted to crack as I was turning. When the lathe was stopped I could hear it pop. I filled the cracks with sanding dust and 5 minute epoxy. Still came out pretty nice. It is 6" tall by 5 1/2" across. Has two coats of Antique oil on it. One more coat then will let cure for a week and buff.

Really like this one Bernie! Curly end-grain - just beautiful! Sure would like to see it once it is buffed! Nice work!

Nice vase, like this one a lot. Well done sir.

Another nice one. Very smooth curvature from the shoulder to the base. Easier said than done.

Thanks again. This one was a challenge to as it was cracking as I turned it. So far I have just put the 3 coat of antique oil on and it is still holding. Will let it dry now for a week or so and buff.

Another one well done Bernie, lets see it after the buff too!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks. Yes I will post after it is buffed. I kinda want to put a matte type buff on it. Hope it takes.
