Wave Vase

This vase was end grain and finish turned from green Sycamore to final dimensions of 6 diameter by 11 high and 3/16 wall thickness. The vase was bagged and allowed to dry and move to its final form over 2 months. The v shaped rim was carved and the wave figures pyrographically added and dyed with blue prismacolor pens by my wife Diane per Andi Wolffs method. After the dye was dry, the spray bubbles were added with a dremmel round burr. The rim wave design was added to give a little more to the rather bland color of the Sycamore. Final finish was Waterlox followed by buffing with the Beall system.

Ed, thank you for your kind thoughts. Took me a little time for the design of the collar and to measure and burn the waves in. Diane did a nice job on the blue coloring for the waves. We thought that it did help the blandness. Glad you liked it. Sorry about taking so long to answer - preparing for IKE to hit us tomorrow.

I didn't realize you were in Houston!! I breathed a big sigh of relief when Ike swerved down south and gave us a pass. Sorry it's headed your way now. It looks like a real monster.

Best of luck and stay safe.

Thanks Ed. Storm surge entering most of the coastal Galveston area flooding all of the roads and homes and the storm has not even reached us yet. Doe's not look good.
