My wife named this one "From Morning To Evening" due to the lighter color on one side and dark walnut color on the other. This was a chunk of Walnut and is aprox 14" tall, 10" diameter and 1/4" thickness. Finished to a glass like lacquer finish and beall buffed.

This is my first project in a little while but inspired me to soon start another in the very near future.

That's the way to show off a fantastic piece of walnut. What a finish!! The wood is so spectacular and the finish so perfect it is easy to forget you turned a beautiful vessel. Gorgeous effort, Allen.

Great wood, great finish and beautiful form. This is an excellent vase form and must be much more impressive when viewed "full size".

Haha, Thanks all. And, yes, it is fairly large and gives that large Jamieson Jumbo boring bar a ride for it's money. The shape came out spot on on this project. Proportions worked well and photos don't do it justice on the grains and spalting in this piece.
