Twig Vahse - Doesn't that just sound better than weed pot? :D

Thought I would give one a try. I should have measured but I just eyeballed everything so my shoulder came out as more of a waist.

Originally there was a larger flared top but I lost a small chunk due to worm problems. :mad: I was going to claim I had put a Fitzgerald edge on it as a tribute to one of my favorite turners but when I started to hollow the top the total lack of structural integrity became clear and I just turned the whole thing off. :eek: I think the narrower top makes the waist positioned shoulder more bearable.

It's that wormy, rotten, found on road wood.
Height: 5 1/4 inches
Width: 2 3/4 inches
Capacity: 4 tablespoons of ice cream

Thanks for looking!

Very nice David....but I'm having troubles deciding if it's a VASE or a VAHHHSSSE? :p :D

Nice Dave! While the capapcity may only be 4 tablespoons within the vessel, don't forget that you can heap it up on top like an ICC. Thusly, I'd go for at least 5 tablespoons and 1 teaspoons of Praline Cappuccino.

Very nice vase David. I think the form is great and trying to visualize it with a flared top, you made the right design change. Great job:) :)

If you look at the 2nd picture you can see the look of surprise on Casper's face when he realized he was on SMC!:rolleyes:

Great twig pot. I thought that first picture looked like Ken Fitzgerald after he saw his new honey-do list..............

Like it alot David. Won't let my wife see it though. She'd want one of those too. Like a kid in a candy shop she is.
