    First large vase using the Kobra!

    This is the first large vase that I finished using the Kobra system. It is around 13" tall and finished with lacquer. The first picture is of it after I roughed it out. The second picture is of it after I finished it. Can't take credit for the finished picture since it was taken at a turning club meeting to be put on their site.

    Jack, Nice piece of spalted wood turned into a fine looking vase! The finish looks good in the club picture and the shape has a nice simple flow to it and will look good with some dried flowers, twigs and sticks in it on someones table center piece.

    Great job and thanks for sharing,

    Jeff
