Vase #3

[Old Joe]

This is my third Vase adapted from a Steve Good design. The outsides are African Padauk, the center is red oak sandwiched with 1/4" birch, allowing space for a glass test tube for cut flowers. I painted the center of the front piece of birch black behind the fretwork, along with the inner edges of the fretwork. This piece of Padauk was marked down at Woodcraft Supply because of some warpage and imperfections. I like he imperfections on the back.

Dave, I got my test tubes at Amazon. Joe, that came out great. I'll have to check out Woodcraft for some of that Padauk. Thanks for sharing.

Stunning work! I'm trying so hard to find a place close to me that sells specialized wood for projects.Its not that easy here. As for the "imperfections" that's what makes it PERFECT and one of a kind for sure! Beautiful work!
