Juniper Vases

[dan carter]

Was using up some smaller pieces instead of burning them. All three came out side by side of the same log. Approximatley 3.5 x 6. WOP and buffed.

Dan, you made a wise choice not burning these pieces - they made some beautiful vases!! I like the form on all of them, and the wood is very nice. Petite, too!

[Bob Bergstrom]

I love the look that red cedar give a vase. The vertical lines give height to the vases. Thanks for sharing these with us.

[Steve Schlumpf]

These are nice! I like the forms and the wood is amazing! Happy you found a way to show off the wood instead of burning it!

I though you said they were Juniper? It sure looks like ceder to me, too. Love the wood.

You have quite a study in rim treatments for these three. I think I like the one in the foreground the best, but the one to the right with the hole is interesting too. Thanks for sharing.

[Jim Burr]

Great forms Dan...the wood isn't to shabby either!

[David E Keller]

Lovely! You done good!

[Baxter Smith]

Great looking trio!

[Roger Chandler]

Very nice..........too nice of wood to burn! I think that juniper and red cedar are in the same family of trees, and certainly have very similar characteristics. Are the conifers?

Where's Leo when you need him? ;):rolleyes::D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Beautiful wood and form is great. Dan glad you didn't burn it.

[Kathy Marshall]

I like the forms and the wood is striking! Nice Job!

[Harry Robinette]

I think it's all been said,but really glad you didn't burn that wood..

:rolleyes:Yep, I'm thinking Juniper is a Cedar. At least I get the same allergic reaction:eek::eek::eek:

Dan, those are real nice - both form and wood.

[Leo Van Der Loo]

Mark everybody calls the Juniper a Cedar, Red Cedar or Eastern Red Cedar, well they are not cedars at all as a matter of fact there doesn't grow any native Cedar in N. America.
What we call Red cedar is usually Juniperus virginiana or common Juniper, there are other native species but most are shrub size, HTH

Here in NW WY Junipers grow pretty slow, 30-40'. As I was driving back home yesterday afternoon, thought I'd show you a Juniper stand outside of town, and three mountain goats were sunning themselves while eating an afternoon meal around the corner from the Junipers.

I believe that we have been down this road before, and thought cediper was a possible phrase.
It is wonderful to turn, but tends to crack if you look at it. :)

Juniperus virginiana (Eastern Red-cedar[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_virginiana#cite_note-fna-1), Red Cedar, Eastern Juniper, Red Juniper, Pencil Cedar) is a species of juniper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniper) native to eastern North America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America), from southeastern Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada) to the Gulf of Mexico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico), east of the Great Plains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Plains).[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_virginiana#cite_note-2) Further west, it is replaced by the related Juniperus scopulorum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_scopulorum) (Rocky Mountain Juniper), and to the southwest, by Juniperus ashei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_ashei) (Ashe Juniper).[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_virginiana#cite_note-farjon-3)[5] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_virginiana#cite_note-gd-4)[6] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_virginiana#cite_note-adams-5)
The Lakota (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakota_language) Native American (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_%28U.S.%29) name is Chansha, "redwood" or Hante'. In its native range, it is commonly called "cedar" or "red cedar," names rejected by the American Joint Committee on Horticultural Nomenclature [7] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_virginiana#cite_note-kelsey-6) as it is a juniper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniper), not a true cedar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedrus). However, "Red Cedar" is by far the most commonly used name.

The rest of the Wikipedia article is quite interesting, Wanna know what is used to flavor gin...?
