Pumpkin seed vase

[Curt Fuller]

Pumpkin seed shaped vase, Ash with a Wenge spigot, 6" in dameter and about 2" thick. It has a hole drilled down in about 5" for the flowers. This is the first time I've made one of these and if was fun.

I like it! I'll bet it was fun to turn. Wish I could have watched over your shoulder when you did it.

Very different Curt! Great form - had to stop and think about how you turned it! Really nice work!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Curt...........that's beauty! I'll have to figure out how you did it and try one! Very well done!

[Jonathon Spafford]

Awesome piece! I think I have an idea how you did it, but it would be cool if you had pix or better yet a tutorial (hint hint)! ;) Anyway, it is a beautiful and well executed piece!

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Curt This is nifty! I really like the form and the grain in the wood. Great Job.:)

[Ron Raymond]

Very nice, Curt! That form really shows off the grain. Any chance of a tutorial or explanation of your chucking methods for us newbies?

[Joyce Baldauf]

For all you who want to know how to make the basic design, it is explained in the summer 2005 issue of Woodturning Design, pp. 76 to 78. I also gives a variation. Curt added his own neat variation.

[Curt Fuller]

Thank you Joyce. I dug out my 2005 summer Woodturning magazine and that is a much better way to do what I was trying to to.

[Shane Whitlock]

Very cool Curt. Looks like it would be challenging ... and fun!

[Pete Jordan]

That turned out great. It would make a great gift!
