Yew Vase with carved & burnt rim

[David Newson]

Not been about much this year but thought I must post something before the end of the year, unfortunately the picture looks squashed up a bit in height not sure why.

About the vase the detailed rim was carved with the proxon long neck grinder fitted with a king arthur blade (chainsaw blade) and then used pyrograph tool to burn individual lines in the rim ,any comments on the piece always welcome.

David - Great to see you posting again! Very nice vase! Really like the form and your carved/textured rim! Did you enter this in your club's competition?

Hope you are doing well and able to spend some time turning! Looking forward to see what you turn next!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments, Steve yes it was indeed the vase I entered in our club competition earlier in the year and I'm very pleased to say I got a 1st in the intermediate class with it, thanks for looking.
