The trick is finding logs with vases in them

I saw something like this online and had to give it a try. I wanted the unfinished part to be very rustic, so I started with a pretty rough, dried out and worm-eaten piece of red cedar. It's all done at pretty low speed because of the imbalance.
Not perfect by any stretch, but I learned a lot for turning the next one.

I like the way you did this. I have several 70 year old Osage orange fence post that should work perfectly. Thanks for posting.
