I'm almost embarrased to show my work here...
This is a little bud vase I've messed with 'til I decided I wasn't going to improve it anyway... the shape came out like it has a fat bum... the wood is a piece from a tree that fell in back yard and I've stacked up for future turnings... the spalting is natural and the wood can get a little punky. I cheated slightly on the hollowing... used a forstner and drill a 1" hole to take a glass tube so the vase can be used with water if desiered. Finish is a wipe on poly.. about 6 or 7 coats.
