I placed what I thought was a Jarrah block into the lathe to make a third Jarrah bud vase but as soon as the surface was cleaned up it became obvious that it was in fact Sheoak. As Sheoak is a beautiful wood and clean to turn, compared to the red dust produced by Jarrah which gets into everything, I decided to carry on regardless.
The height is 4 1/4" and 1 1/2" at the widest point.

Thanks Bernie, it really has become moreish, I'm feeling more confident with each one. I spent the morning in hospital having my defibrillator given it's annual checkup, all seems to be OK. After lunch I got the urge to get into the shed and do some turning, I found a Jarrah block (yes, this one really was Jarrah) and have made a larger vase but deep down there were cavities which I have filled with Jarrah coloured filler and perhaps tomorrow, after I've watched stupid wrestling on TV, I'll finish it off. I didn't bother with a photo-shoot on this one.

Thank you Warren, yes, Sheoak is a beautiful wood with it's prominent medullary rays. I've made many boxes all for presents which have been eagerly accepted.

I was just about to complain I had not seen a new vase in 24 hours. But you saved youself Harry. And I love this one also. I am still waiting on my purple hart, for my next project. Most of the hard ware has been delivered.

There is a standing invitation Lee that any member visiting Western Australia is not only welcome to spend a day with us, but I would be upset if they didn't.

Good one George, but in fact it may be so, I have noticed that for about the last 18 months I've been behaving like George Washington!

Ok I just know you are in the shop turning more vases. So you are holding out on your viewers. I am checking around the house to make sure all stuff that might fly in the wind is secured.
