We have baby birds again--
the nest is in one of my hanging baskets;
so far, the parents have been doing fine feeding these guys!
The plant has died--I can't water it and drown the babies! lol
The mega vase is finished!
The wood has a wonderfully smooth feel
and lots of texture also!
(more on the yarn tomorrow!)
It is 15" tall and has lots of visual interest!
I filled dthe cracks so they look like a healed scars!
And the indents have bumps which would show up
as bird's eyes in woodwhop lingo (think bird's eye maple).
I really had to think about this feature;
would I make the vase super thin to make the vase completely round with the little spots in the grain
OR
I could leave the indented sides with the bumps
which is what I did!
I have more of this wood so I can't wait to see
what it under the bark of the other pieces!
It's been too hot to work in the garage at the lathe
but I have enjoyed sanding, polishing and rubbing this indoors.
