13.5" tall x 5.5" wide x 1/8" thick. I'm making this for a friend of mine that introduced me to woodturning. I'm going to add a Brazilian Rosewood base to finish it off.

Once you get the base on that is going to be one beautiful vase.

Love the wood and shape. You did it very well. I'm not sold on the rim personally. Nearly all of my turnings have a natural edge at the top but the only ones I find distracting are the ones with partially natural and partially finished edge, IMHO. Looking forward to what you do with a base. Not sure that it is needed to enhance the vase.
