    Finned Mini Vase

    Here is a little dude I finally got completed. This is a Christmas present for a very deserving person and my way of rewarding a good person. It is also a surprise present, as the person has no idea it's coming. So, a bit of Osage Orange and a conciderable amount of carving and piercing and this is what I came up with. Stands 4" tall and about 2" wide at the base and is a bit over 1/16" thin at the walls. Finished with Tung Oil and Ren wax.

    Comments and constructive critiques are requested. Thanks for looking, HO HO HO!

    Very nice job Scott, I like this piece.

    May I ask ... What tool are you using for the piercing ?

    You almost have to look twice to see if it is wood. Very well done.

    That is fantastic!

    How did you wax it without getting wax in the holes?

    A fantastic piece Scott and a great gift. You have way more patience then I do.

    Scott, have you ever noticed how the piercing pattern looks like the skin along the back of a brook trout? That's really neat.
