Here is another in my 'Urn series' titled 'Jug d'Triumph' ..................(sorry, got carried away with the smilies) Its part flatwork and part turned. 18" tall and 11.5 wide. The bottom section is staved, which I originally intended to turn, but changed course and decided to shape it with flutes using a convex drawknife, goosneck scraper, etc. I got the bright Idea to make it all without using a lathe as an exercise to see if it could be done, just using the bandsaw, router, and handtools. The top part turned out to be problematic, and I finally scrapped the idea. I still think it could be done, I just ran out of time and patience, and ended up turning the top portion. The bottom is lightly birdseyed alder and walnut, the top is walnut, Honduran Mahogany, and down-the-street orange wood.
