Small maple vase.

[Jack Mincey]

This is a small maple vase that I turned from a bump that was on a round of maple I cored some nice bowls from. They are still drying, but this one dried in a couple weeks since I turned it to finial thickness to start. It has a little of everything. It is 4 1/2" tall by 3 1/4" in dia. Finished with deft. It is turned thin enough to see light through from top to bottom.

[Jeff Nicol]

Jack, That is a very wonderful little vessel! It has such contrast and the burl side is very different from the figured heartwood side! Pretty darn cool!

Thanks for sharing!

Jeff

[Steve Frederick]

Wow! Every shot looks like a completely different piece of wood!
Excellent work!

[Jack Mincey]

Thanks for the compliments everyone. When I looked at the bump on this large blank I thought it might have some nice wood inside, just didn't realize how nice it would be. That is one of the things I love about turning, you just don't know what mother nature has in store for you, until you mount chunk of wood up and take a peak inside.
Thanks again,
Jack

Amazing that there is that much variation in a piece that small, excellent work with a very unusual chunk of tree.

[Jarrod McGehee]

That was a really nice piece of wood. now it's a really nice HF!

I wonder what those bowls will look like when finished also...
