This vase is turned from Sycamore,it's 8"high, finished with poly. The picture to the right of the vase Is a piece of hickory turned as one piece and turned into a Natural Edge bowl. Second picture is turned from apple from a tree I planted in 1967.It is hollowed out and is paper thin. third picture also turned from the same apple wood, turned into a bud vase, only about 4" high and is one of my favorite turnings even though it is very simple to turn. Thanks for looking.. Mitch | ||

Love the grain on the apple wood bud vase (3rd pic) Mitch. Nice work on all these pieces.

Thanks Glenmore. I generally use poly because I usually turn wet wood and it has to be sealed immediately when turned or it cracks. I use poly, white and amber shellac for this. The vase I first posted was the only dry vase I turned, the tree was cut down 7 years ago. Mitch Last edited by challagan; 03-22-2008 at 11:33 PM. | ||

Dr Zook Thank you my friend. I like that one too. Isn't it nice the way the dark wood blends with the light color wood. Nature works wondrous things. Mitch | ||

Thanks again Glenmore I usually turn wet wood so I need to use polyurethane to seal for cracking.None of these were wet wood though which wasn't the norm. Do you turn at all? Mitch | ||

Mitch those are some great looking pieces. Was wondering if you have ever tried Minwax Antique Oil. You can get it at ACE Hardware or they can order it. I use it on all my wet HF's and it work great at keeping them from cracking and moving. I use it on dry also. Good stuff. Just curious if you had tried it.
