    My first Bud Vase

    This is my first attempt at turning a bud vase. It is made of Tiger Maple and stands 10 1/4" tall, 3 1/4" at the widest point and the base is 2 3/4"
    All comments are welcome!

    and yes it was very hard to turn the Norwegian Forest Cat!!!

    Great looking vase. You did a great job on it. Cat looks life like.

    Bud vase?

    Kinda big for bud vase even us Texans. My bud vases tend to be 3-6" tall depending upon the test tube I use. Unless I'm not using the term correctly. It is a nice composition.

    I like the cat. Nice and big.

    Nice looking vase Ron! Hard to tell from the photo - what did you finish it with?

    Nice vase. Cat looks kinda like my Maine Coon. But he'd be a blur in the pic, unless I'd stapled a chunk of tuna to the desk.
    Where did I put that tape measure...

    Steve,
    I finished it with BLO and Myland's High Build Friction Polish.


    Gary,
    The cat is part Norwegian Forest Cat & Maine Coon
