heppnerguy Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 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? Fish and Phantom Scroller 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWSUDEKUM Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 Very nicely done. These are dry vases and the woods you have chosen are a great combination. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Prozora Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 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!

Wilson's Woodworking Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrpeteo Posted April 29, 2014 Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 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. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryEA Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) 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.Larry PS: Dick, just to let you know it looks like it's a 'wooden' vase Edited April 30, 2014 by LarryEA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
