Here are a couple of vases, both of Beech I robbed from my dads firewood pile. The tall one is 9"tall x 5"dia and the other is 8"tall x 7"dia. The tall one had a little boring grain so I lightly stained it with some Minwax Walnut stain then some BriWax and the other is just BriWax finish.
C&C welcome.
