Pierced and Textured Yellow Birch....

I would have liked that classic vase without ornamentation. But , it sure takes it over the top. Thanks for bringing it up from the vault!

Amazing job Wally, really like the grain working with the texturing and piercing you did. Nice work

[Donny Lawson]

Great looking piece of work. One of these days I will try something like that. What is a good tool to get for the piercings that will not break the bank?

My piercing tool is the Nova, which is actually a dental drill. It runs at about 320,000 rpm. It's air driven so you need to have a compressor. Cost, with the controls runs in the neighborhood of $400. So sell your first pierced piece for $500 and you're already making a profit.

Wally I sure do like seeing some of your wonderful turnings. This is one of my favorites. Thanks for taking the time to show us. Please keep it up.
