wooden vase, I think

[heppnerguy]

Not sure if this qualifies as a vase or what, but I have been looking at them for awhile and I finally decided to make one for my wife. I made this one using Alder and another wood for the base and top of which I have no idea as to what kind of wood it is. When i freshly cut and sand this wood it is very yellow but takes on a rather dark brown look in a short time. It kind of reminds me of how a banana turn so quickly, Anyway is a very dense and hard wood with no noticeable pitch. It did please my wife, as she thought it was very beautiful. It really does not appeal to me a lot but what the heck do I know anyway?

Very nicely done.  These are dry vases and the woods you have chosen are a great combination.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

I would go to the craft store and buy some of those plastic or silk flowers to put in it and then the flowers will look nice and fresh all year. That is a nice looking dry vase. You could put real flowers in it if you have a plastic or glass vase that will fit inside. Great job!  Fay

That sounds an awful lot like mulberry wood. I have made some rolling pins and a few other projects out of it and it is a beautiful wood.

That is a beautiful vase. Well done.   :thumbs:

So, that's how to please the wife! I've been wondering...

Nice job, I have seen these with a small bud vase in them for fresh flowers. Like a test tube.

Very crafty, Keep the wife happy. Youv'e done well, my son, I see notes were taken and pencils sharpened to come out smelling like a rose vase! Innovative clever design,just what the little woman ordered

looks great. osage orange starts yellow and will turn brown over time. its also very hard.

That is a very nice vase Dick. The wood frame and base are beautiful wood.
I had to move the flowers to see the top wood. Maybe it's Tulip.

PS: Dick, just to let you know it looks like it's a 'wooden' vase
