End Grain turned Oak crotch Vase

Nice work!! I can’t hollow that deep, maybe someday…

-- Genghis Khan and his brother Don, couldn't keep on keeping on...

that’s quite a sight – hard to believe spalting could be so prevalent, hardly any room for solid wood

-- Dick, Malvern Ohio - my biggest fear is that when I die, my wife sells my toys for what I told her I paid for them

just beautiful….........

-- sawdust the bigger the pile the bigger my smile-larry,so cal.

Hairy, this is the last time I do something this large end grain or otherwise…just too deep for an old dude to wrestle. I had the blank and thought it would be a waste to not get as much out of it as possible….never again ! It is more the size of a small bucket than a vase ! limits should be followed. This was too much work for a 75+ year old dude. Hope you are well and happy.

Just always remember (in politics too) that :

To Mr. Malvern, the vase does contain some spalting. Maybe as much as ten %....The wild figure, color, and patterning is natural, and due to the fact that this is a live oak crotch, turned end grain. This is the largest of three turned in this fashion. Thanks, Don S. Havana Florida.
