    Ambrosia Maple HF Vase

    Here's a vase I just finished from my most recent wood run. This wood has so many colors in it...I'm afraid I didn't capture it all. The wood had som red flame plus it was Ambrosia. The red flame sorta died down to pink though. It's 5" in diameter and 5" tall....Wall thickness is 3/16 but a little thicker toward the bottom. I did this one with the Hollowmaster...Sealed with some cut blonde shellac then finished with spray lacquer (hic)

    Thanks for looking!

    Looks great John---I like the way you finished the bottom.
    For some reason that's the first thing folks look at when they pick a piece up.
    They always flip it over and check out the bottom.
    ---I may be broke---but we have plenty of wood---

    Great look - wood and form. I love wood when there is an assymetry to the dark pattern.
