Pear Vase

[Bobby McCarley]

This is my first attempt at a vase. Its turned from a piece of pear that I got from a wood raffle at one of our club meetings. Its 6" tall and about 4" in dia. I sanded to 1200 and then put on several coats of walnut oil.

Hey, I like that a lot! This is something that my wife has been after me about doing. If she sees this pic I know she'll say, "Yeah, just like that!"

Very nice. Thanks for the picture!

Looks good Bobby. Thanks for letting us see... :)

[Michael Stafford]

Nicely done, Bobby. Good form and finish! :)

[Rob Bourgeois]

Nice form.

When ever I tried a vase of similar shape I had a lot of trouble getting the bowl gouge to behave past the neck narrowing. What did you use to hollow it out?

[Kurt Aebi]

Bobby, That looks great!

Like Rob said, how did you hollow it out, do you have a picture of the inside?

Great Job! - Thanks for sharing

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Bobby, it looks great for the first try or 100th! :)
