Small maple vase.
This is a small maple vase that I turned from a bump that was on a round of maple I cored some nice bowls from. They are still drying, but this one dried in a couple weeks since I turned it to finial thickness to start. It has a little of everything. It is 4 1/2" tall by 3 1/4" in dia. Finished with deft. It is turned thin enough to see light through from top to bottom.
Jack

Very Very Nice!
Jack, That is a very wonderful little vessel! It has such contrast and the burl side is very different from the figured heartwood side! Pretty darn cool!

Thanks for sharing!

Jeff
