Sorry if you are getting tired of my work, but here is another one. This is an apricot body with blood wood finial, point, and base. This was much easier than I thought it would be. The apricot came from my mothers yard, and she had me cut the tree down because it smelled bad, and was not looking healthy. I was excited for the wood because the tree was about 30 years old, and large. When I got it down, I found that the smell was from a very bad case of heart rot. Unfortunately, that cost me a lot of the good wood. Everything I got from the tree was only good for "spindle ish" items. This was the biggest piece and I only got a skinny vase. There is some rot on the vase that looks a bit odd, but it still seems to work. The base was not hard to make, but it took a lot of sanding. The shop looked like the aftermath of an axe murder with all the red dust. Quite the "blood bath". My white vehicle was dark pink. As always, I am asking for a brutal critique. Let me have it. Don't hold back. It's the best way to learn.
