Hey gang,
Your probably tired of all of these by now. This is a Maple Burled Vase I turned a week ago. It is 11" tall and 6" wide at the top. I liked this wood because it is two different colors on either side with a neat transition area of color. It has a lot of burl and was fun to turn. Buffed only. Thanks for looking and critiques and comments, if your not tired of these, are welcome.

Ken,

I'm not tired of these. Keep them coming.

The classic shape of the vase allows the character of the wood to shine. Very well done!

Ken, I really like this piece. The way the wood transforms is great, almost like two new turnings, good eye!
