Our club presidents challenge of Turn something Weird was last Saturday and this was my entry. Last year during our clubs Spring Retreat which is two days of hands on turning classes and demonstrations, Jerry Bennett did a demo covering design and how to get out of your box. One exercise...

This is a slightly different version of what I refer to as a "Grandma's Vase". My previous post 5318 was what I remembered the shape to be, while this one more represents what I feel the shape should be. Slightly longer curve to a slightly shorter neck. About 9 3/4 inches tall and...

This is another vase of the type I refer to as a "Grandma's Vase". It's Manitoba poplar (aspen), about 9 1/2 inches tall and has been treated with aniline dye and patinating wax.

When I was very young and my parents used to drag us kids along when they visited older people, more often than not their living room/dining room area had a vase in it which looked a lot like this one. The color and size might vary, and it may be a little bit more or less squat, but this is a...

This is my first try at turning a wall hanging, made from most of a mesquite stump and maple burl which is airbrushed with dye, the piece is sealed with shellac, sanded, and then finished with wipe on/off oil 13X8X3/4. I like this piece and wanted to hang it on the wall in the living room and...

Petals of myrtle burl dyed to a coral, orange, and red blend. Bill and Diane wanted a vase with this color combination which I think turned out to be very nice. Blackwood stem with some sap wood. 5X5 Received an interesting comment from an artist, he said that an artist would prefer the stem...

Before beading and fluting, these were two identical ash vases (10 1/2 inches tall by 6 1/4 inches in diameter). Then the one on the left, 5239, was beaded, while the one on the right, 5240, was fluted. Then both were identically dyed with yellow aniline dye and treated with black patinating...

This is another droplet shaped hollowed-from-the-bottom forms. It is about 9 3/4 inches tall. If the red one was "Terran" then this one is "Vulcan", but I think it needs a title more reminiscent of the ocean.
