I'm just starting hollow forms and am looking for comments on this vase (before I destroy too much of my mesquite :)). It's 10.5" tall and finished with 3 coats of pure tung oil. Thanks.

comment: Nice vase!

[Dennis Ford]

It is a very nice vase, I don't think that I would call it a hollow form but that is not important.

Yep, that's a nice vahse... The wood is gorgoeus.... Is it old dead wood, or fresh killed wood?........ Jerry (in Tucson)

Nice looking vase. Wood is beautiful.

Great job on some beautiful wood! Mesquite has such a wonderful feel to it when it is sanded... so dense and so smooth.

Thanks for the comments. Glad to know I'm not the only one that likes it. I was checking Craigslist for "free wood" and found an ad that said "clearing mesquite trees, come cut as much as you want". I had no idea at the time how fortunate I was. It is a wonderful wood.

You clearly didn't "destroy" that one, Mike. I'm jealous of your find.
