Project Information

This was my entry sent to recipient LJ Earls. The all walnut segmented lidded vase with finial is from piece of walnut found in an old barn in Big Springs, Ky. This was my first try at loose rings cut into the finial. The all wooden knife ( not good for anything but to talk about) with the end of a 45 caliber shell casing for an emblem is redheart w/all the light colored wood being hard maple. Have made appx. 252 bowls and vases and about 1080 wooden knives since my retirement.

I'm a lucky dude, I'm a lucky dude…...because that fine looking vase is sitting on the buffet in my dining room!!!!

I had to hide the knife so my daughter didn't "borrow" it like she did with the box Neil made for me.

Vernon - The lidded vase is gorgeous. I hope someday to learn how to make things like that on a lathe. Thank you so very much!!!

Awesome work on the vase. I need to try the captive ring I haven't done one yet. I guess that will have to be a bucket list item.
