Cracked Vase Repair

Nice job Dan. How did you get the lace through that vase.

Hey Matt,
Sorry, forgot to put that in.
I drilled a series of holes along the edge of the crack, then used forceps to reach inside and “stitch” the crack together.

This really got my attention. A beautiful piece of spalted Maple gone bad and you saved it with stitches. Great way to make a save. I guess you can’t say no strings attached on this one. Again great thinking.

This would sell fast just because of how unique it is.
Nice job nice fix.

A novel solution, I really like this vase I think the laces really make it stand out.

What do you think?

This is what I think, its a very nice vase, excellent finish and an excellent training aid for your kids or the likes for practicing tieing their shoes when the time comes.

I also tend to think an adult will pull the lace purely to see what happens!

Keep up the good work

-- Regards Rob

Hey Dan,
Long time no see.
Nice but, “knotty” vase…so to speak.
Curly maple and lacewood. Unique combo.

How interesting. Bet that vase is glad it didn’t go to the garbage truck. You always seem to come up with the most interesting woodworking projects.
