Here is a cedar vase and another olive vase.
I had a ton of trouble getting the color to come out on the cedar. As of today the wood is much more purple. A few weeks and it'll fade more to red. I happened to like the shape on this cedar piece quite a bit.The cedar has a glass insert but its sunken about 2 inches.
The olive shape I thought was lacking. Need some work on my southwestern style.
Comment and Critiques Appreciated.

Some nice work, Alex! The SW pot is kinda neat - the knot in the side adds a lot of character. I am not sold on the form of the cedar, but it is very well done. Hope you have better luck with cedar/juniper than do I - seemed to want to crack on me.

I especially like the form and character of the olive. Nice work Alex.

Really nice pieces Alex. On the Olive wood is it hollowed or is it solid and just drilled? I do like that cedar.

Bernie I hallowed it but the insert is dropped down about 2/3" so the rim is rather thick.

Nicely done, Alex. I like them both!

I like them both but I like the cedar best. It would look great with a bigger, taller bunch of flowers.
