    First vase Aromatic cedar

    It's 4" x 8". It was a little taller with a short neck and a lip until my little sorby got caught and went round and round. That'll make you find the off switch in a hurry. I was excited to get something hollowed out though, and to a little less than 1/4" thick. Critiques welcome. Thanks for looking.

    Ernie, very pretty, great form. I have not turned any cedar and am looking forward to doing so. Hope my first cedar piece comes out looking that good...

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Thanks all for your kind words. Carole I've seen your work, and If I can do this, I know you can.

    LOL, yeah, I know about finding the off switch in a hurry

    Just remember Ernie, wood turners never make mistakes, the alter design

    I am a great believer in design alteration!!!
