Mesquite Vase

[dennis kranz]

Shop time has not been one of those thigs that I have had a lot of. But I have gotten out every now and again for a quick fix. Here is one of the projects that has been worked on for a while now. It still needs to be Bealed but that is a couple weeks away. About 7 1/2 inch high and 4 inch accross. I got lucky with the figure from the knot. The base was where I was going to cut it off but liked it better with it on. I wish you could see it in person the pictures don't do it any justice. Insert is from Craft supplies.

You are correct that it's difficult to capture the beauty of mesquite with a photo. Your turning with insert will come to life with a bouquet of fresh flowers, good job.

Dennis, some nice work on that vase! Personally, I would prefer not to have the base area remain, but you like it and that is what turning is all about anyway. Like your photo tent with the backdrop!!:D

Nice work. I think I like the little foot area... It will certainly improve the stability of the piece. Gotta love mesquite.

Dennis, you did well! I'm not sure of the foot, either, but I sure do like stable! :D
Good job on the vase! LOYL will love that insert for it.

Nice work Dennis! Looks like a very functional design that will work well!

Very nice looking vase Dennis. You must of had that beautiful piece of Mesquite hiding ;) when I came to your house for turning instructions, lol.
