Blue Vase

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well here is the blue vase. It is 6 1/2" high and 4" across. Guess it is ok as it is now in the LOML's display cabinet. Not sure about the blue myself although it doesn't look bad maybe it just not my color. It is finished with several light coats of lacquer. I am going to make one more of this size and experiment with some colors. Hopefully won't mess it up.

[Dave Halter]

I like it. The scalloped edge really sets it off. What is the wood and finish that you used?

Looks pretty good to me Bernie!

[John Keeton]

Bernie, this one looks good, too. You need to post a pic of the red and blue together!

[Roger Chandler]

Ditto what JK said........this is a nice beginning to what could be a wonderful series!

[Jerry Wright]

Very nice Bernie. Really elegant. Lets see. You turn your turnings and then her turnings and her turnings then.... well there are 24 hours in a day!

Nice!
I might like that better than the red.

what kind of wood?

[Scott Hackler]

Another nice one Bernie.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks everyone. I forgot to add the wood is pecan which was just plain so decided to dye it with transtint dyes. The finish is 7 or 8 light coats of lacquer. Forgot but here is the red and blue together.

Thanks Tony.

Bernie
I think you have something here.They are beautiful and a series would be really cool.

[Baxter Smith]

If its a keeper, all is good! So what do you get when you mix blue and red?;):)

[Bill Bolen]

Another beauty Bernie but I still love the Red one best.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Bernie,my friend, let me say I like both of them. If I may, I prefer the red one more than the blue. The pedestal on the red IMHO is more appropriate for a vessel that size. That is just a matter of personal taste and worth everything you paid for it. I think you have found your signature series for this summer!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. Ken I plan on making a few more. The wife says she thinks a series would be neat so guess we will give it a go. Yep I did get the foot slightly small on this one.

[Cathy Schaewe]

Wow, I love it! The red is neat, but the blue is beautiful! Coooool!!!!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thank you Cathy. That is the same expression Mary Ann used when she saw it.

[Kathy Marshall]

Nice job Bernie and it looks like you've got the dye thing down!

[Michelle Rich]

good to see the 2 colors together..bright..very shiny deep finish..so much for retirement, eh, Bernie??!!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks again. Michelle I told the wife the other day, how did I have time for a full time job before.:D I think she is at the drawing board again.:eek:

[Rob Cunningham]

A very nice set Bernie.

[Rusty Smith]

If its a keeper, all is good! So what do you get when you mix blue and red?;):)

[Bernie Weishapl]
