Rose Vase

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well the LOML gave me another drawing on Tuesday night while we were watching TV and wondered what something like that might look like. So I head to the shop the next morning to fiddle around and see what I could come up with. She wanted this one with no lid and after seeing it done now wants one dyed blue with a lid. So guess I will get to it this afternoon. Anyway it came out pretty nice with the scallops on the edge. It is 5 1/2" tall and 4 1/2" across. It is dyed with red transtint and lacquer finish.

Not bad Bernie!!! Wifes' have a habit of keeping us busy. Nice coloration and lip treatment!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Bernie....Your wife has good taste and you have the skills to satisfy it! Nicely done!

[Jon Nuckles]

Nice to have a resident designer on staff. Love the color and very interesting rim design.

[charlie knighton]

very nice, you and Alan should get together

he goes from blue to pink and you are going from red to blue

thanks for sharing

[Mark Hubl]

That came out well. Nice collaboration! The finish looks really good too.

[Steve Vaughan]

Dang, I really like that! Looks like colored glass, cool!

[Bill Bolen]

OOOOH Bernie! I really like this one. Fine job Sir.

[Steve bellinger]

That looks really nice. when i first clicked on your post i also thought it was gonna be glass on a turned stem.great job man.

[Marc Himes]

Nice dye job; really nice! You obtained a very nice red color. My transtint ends up kind of orange red compared to the more crimson you have. I like yours. the black edge and base set it off well too. Very nice piece.

[John Keeton]

Really nice, Bernie! I assume it was maple? The color came out great, and the design department is doing a fantastic job.


Bernie....Your wife has good taste and you have the skills to satisfy it! Nicely done!Well, Ken, perhaps she "developed" good taste after marrying Bernie - not to sure of her taste prior to that!!!:D;):D

Bernie,
That is a great job. How did you cut the scallops? I know I could mess that up in a heartbeat! Beautiful work.

Very nice Bernie. One of these days I'm going to try some of this dye stuff!! Let's see the blue one when you make it.

Bernie - you are "'fortunate" to have someone pushhing you toward the shop. It could be a paint brush or wallpaper!! I really like the piece, not only the general form, but the precision with which you executed the scalloped edge. Nice!

Dang, I really like that! Looks like colored glass, cool!

Bernie
That is extremely nice, I really like the scollop's. Plus your very lucky having someone with good taste to do your design work.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. John she does have pretty good taste for sure. She wants me to do some bigger ones now that she thinks I have these down. I am posting one tomorrow dyed Teal color. Not sure I like it but she does so guess all is good.

Ed the scallop are done by using the indexing on the lathe. It has 24 index detents. I make a mark for each one using the tool rest. I found a lid that will span 4 marks. So I mark my half circle using the lid. I use a oscillating spindle sander to make the scallops. I got the sander at Menards that just opened. They had it on sale at half price and couldn't pass it up at $84.50. Works like a dream. You have to have patiences and care when sanding the scallops for sure.

[Baxter Smith]

Nice job on the coloring and the scallops. Looking forward to the teal!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks Baxter.

[Scott Hackler]

Real nice work Bernie. I really like the fact that you blackened the edges of the scallops. That really ties the piece together.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks Scott. Was a suggestion made by the LOML.

[Michelle Rich]

that deep red is eye catching bernie. You'll see that everytime you walk into the room!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks Michelle. The wife likes it and it will be displayed on the entertainment center.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Bernie - this piece sure grabs your attention! Love the proportions, the vivid coloring and the clean scalloped edges! Looking forward to seeing the blue version!

[Roger Chandler]

Very elegant Bernie........I like the color, and the form.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks Steve and Roger. Yep I thought today I was going to have to be a referee when my sister showed up.:eek: She wanted to take it home with her. So it was left that I would make her one.

[Kathy Marshall]

Nice job Bernie! The dye job looks great and the scalloped edge is a nice touch!
