When the boss saya "you've worked too many days in a row, take some time off" who's gonna argue. So I had 4 days to catch up on the honney do list and still found time to finish a couple projects. The urn was stated 9 months ago and the vase about 2. The urn is cherry. maple and bloodwood, the vase is spalted birch. both finished with WTF. I love that stuff!!!! The threads on the urn are ABS plumbing fittings. The urn is about 11.5" x 8.5" and the vase is 11.5" x 5.5".Coments and critiques welcome.

Thank you all for the kind words. I really need to get a larger boring bar though, what I used on these pieces was makeshift and had a fair amount of chatter when going deep.
