Blue Mahoe Vase

[George Guadiane]

Got this wood in a trade. It is the National tree of Jamaica. It is rare to find a piece this large. I turned a vase because the center was pretty punky. The "sleepy" look of the grain is pleasing to my eye.
It is 7 3/4 by 6 1/2 inches, sanded to 600 with kukui nut oil

That is beautiful. Great wood and well executed.

Gotta love the grain and color. Great work and great pics!

Very nice piece George. "Sleepy" was a good description.

Boy, that is a big piece. I've turned several small hollow forms of the stuff. Very, very rare.
