Hello everyone! I haven't posted anything in a while because I haven't made much lately. But I did get around to a redo. Over a year ago, I had a catch and cracked the rim of a sycamore vase I was working on. I glued it back together and left it sitting in the shop for a long time trying to figure out what to do with it. I finally decided to finish the hollowing and pierce the rim to help hide the glue lines. After that I started experimenting with colors and dying techniques. I actually lost track of what all I did to it. Mostly, I thinned artists oils and wiped it on. The orange in the piercings was straight painting with oil. It has several coats of tung oil and was finished with spray poly.
As you can see, I've got some dust in the finish and I'm not satisfied with that at all. There are a few dings that I'm just going to leave, and some end grain tear out that is staying too. Overall, a successful experiment, but one I will keep around the house.
Comments and critiques welcome. Thanks for looking.
