I purchased a trailer full of odds and ends from a custom furniture maker's shop. One of the pieces of wood was a natural edge slab of mesquite. It was only 7/8" thick including all of the saw marks, so I knew that it wasn't going to be a table! After some time on the table saw, I had 168 pieces of mesquite and a circle of curly maple for the floating bottom.
The vase is 11" tall x 7.5" wide with 3/8" walls. After being sanded through 400 grit, it was finished with 2 coats of Antique Oil . Before I put the finish on, it was actually kind of hard to where the seams were and I had to knock two rings off during the build when I misaligned them. :o
Comments and/or critiques are welcome and thanks for looking. :)
