Maple Vase

Finally got to spin a little. A little ambrosia and a little spalting in this one. Measures 6 x 4 with Mylands friction polish for the finish.

Very pretty. Amazing what a little decay can do!

Really nice piece Mike out of some really pretty wood. I like the form.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice work Mike - as per usual! Pretty wood and finish! I really like the simple form - very classic! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful looking vase Mike.
That little bit of spalt just sets it off.

[David E Keller]

Great piece... I love the wide flare at the top. Nice balance on the piece.

[John Keeton]

Mike, that is a beautiful piece! Love the form, and the wood.

I am only about 1.5 hours from you - we need to get together sometime. You could teach me a lot!!

[Tony De Masi]

Beautiful work as usual Mike. It must be hard to keep living up to your reputation here on the Creek but you seem undaunted by it. Love your work.

Mike,
Simple, but elegant design. I really like the top edge angle for this piece, and the wood has lots of character. Well done. Of course, we always expect this level from you.

[Robert McGowen]

Mike, I have to agree with some of the previous posts. The piece has a nice balance to it and is very well done.

2 Thumbs up Mike !

[mike fuson]

Thanks guys, and any time John.

Very nice form Mike.

Dont you just love it when someone picks up a piece made from spalted wood and they look totally amazed or grossed out when you tell them those beautiful black line they love so much are created by a fungus.

Great piece Mike. The spalt is just right & doesn't overwhelm the form. I would be tickled to get to be half as good on the lathe as you are.

Mike,

As usual, another keeper! Great form and finish.
