    Yellowheart Vase

    This is a vase made from 169 pieces of yellowheart. Yellowheart polishes to a sheen that looks almost 3-D and it seems to follow you around the room when you look at it. I made it for a wedding present for a young lady that likes a bright and sunny house. I hope this fits into her décor!

    Pretty. Sounds expensive

    Nice looking vase have never used yellow heart as the main wood only for accents looks good all by itself.

    How could it not fit anyone's decor?
    On the off chance she doesn't like it I think I have the perfect place to store it . . . .

    I think this equates nicely to wood turning as well . . . . .

    One of the things I don't like about segmented work is the way they reflect light. Normally. This piece is the exeption to that rule as I think you have used that 'fault' as a feature and used it well. She should be very happy with the piece.
