    Vase From Roadside Wood

    This is a small vase (about 7" x 5") from wood found on the side of the road on my way to work. Not sure what type of wood, though I was pleased to find a bit of irregular spalting. Finished with Watco Danish Oil.
    Comments and critiques welcome.
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Great looking vase. Found wood is always the best. I really like the sap wood band. Your top rim is a little heavy for my taste, but the next person to comment will probably say it should be heavier. If your wife likes it that is all that matters.

    I like it just he way it is. The proportions look good to my eye. Nice job.

    Thanks everyone for the comments. I appreciate the criticism too, as once turned I find it hard to objectively look at my work so it's nice to see it through other's viewpoints.
