Spalted Sycamore vase

[daryl moses]

I've not posted in awhile so thought I would post a pic of one of my latest projects.
I think I enjoy turning vases and hollow forms more than bowls now.
C&C welcome and appreciated.

Maybe it's the lighting or maybe it's your finish but when I look at it the words soft & elegant come to mind. Very nice piece daryl.

Very nice. I like the shape. What are the overall dimensions? And what is the finish?

Thanks everyone for the kind words, it is very encouraging!
I was fortunate to have this tree which I accidentally knocked down while felling a diseased White Oak. I't wasn't a very large tree and I didn't think much of it while concentrating my attention on the white oak. As a result it laid on the ground for about a year. This is how the spalting occurred. Sometimes you just get lucky I suppose. I still have several pieces left, so hopefully I will get a few more turnings out of it.
Art, the finish is several coats of rattle can lacquer after sanding down to 400 grit then polished on the lathe.

William, it is 8" tall and maximum 5" wide. Lacquer finish.
