I am really happy with how this turned out. Gave it to my wife for our 13th wedding anniversary. RED MALLEE FLOWERS, MAPLE STEMS, AMBROSIA MAPLE AND LACEWOOD VASE,
C AND C ALWAYS WELCOME

[Steve Busey]

Great idea and great execution, Thomas - no doubt she loves it!

(PS - how you gonna top it next year? :rolleyes: )

[Scott Hackler]

Shoot, next year he will only need to turn one flower and jam it into the vase! :)

Nice work Thomas.

[David Walser]

The only thing more beautiful than the flowers is the model who's holding them in the last photograph. Does your wife know about her?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Very thoughtful and well executed! Nicely done Sir!

[Sid Matheny]

Now that is a beautiful gift to a beautiful wife. She looks like she is very happy with them and who could blame her. Great job!!!

Sid

[Alan Zenreich]

Lovely... congratulations to you both.

[Scott Lux]

Nice flowers, consider the idea stolen :).

Did you marry her when she was 12?

[Greg Ketell]

Wow!! I'd be really happy with that too!! That is gorgeous!

did you carve the top of the vase?

[Thom Sturgill]

Shoot, next year he will only need to turn one flower and jam it into the vase! :)

Nice work Thomas.

Yes, but he has to remember to that EVERY year from now on! and to always try to outdo last years offering!
Great job Thomas, I see a lot of varied techniques used there.

Thank you guys for all the kind words.
Greg, I tilted the table on my spindle sander and just sanded the top and botttom. It was a last minute design change/addition.
Scott H., I love the idea of adding an additional flower each year. SO EASY...... Here I am, wayyyy over thinking things
David,Scott L. , I will pass along the wonderful compliments to her. thanks

[Ryan Mooney]

Wow what a fantastic idea! I really like the vase, the center piece of wood evokes a piece of twine or rope wrapped around it and makes it an interesting unique piece. The flowers also came out really well.

[Greg Just]

Well done.

[Kathy Marshall]

What a wonderful gift Thomas! Very well executed and great choice of woods. Looks to me like she loves it!
When you add a flower next year, you can just drop a little surprise inside of it for her to find.
