Wedding Vase

beautiful piece, malcolm ... how do you create the handle???

e, the handle was constructed with the grain oriented towards the viewer, thus permitting a side-grain to side-grain ring assembly. It was then turned separately and carefully fitted to the neck tops (again, with side-grain connections). For reason of strength, it was important to avoid unsupported end-grain joints.

thanks ... very impressive

Very nice.

Beautiful! Looking at your work is kind of like when I went to see Stevie Ray Vaughn....a wee bit intimidating and yet, made me want to go play guitar even more. Malcolm your work is extraordinary!!
