This 6″ tall by 5″ diameter hollow vessel is turned to emphasize the beautiful character of the ash log it once was. The voids have been filled with turquoise and it is finished with shellac and wax. Not intended to contain water but a glass vessel could be used inside to hold cut flowers. It will proudly decorate any bookshelf, side table or mantle. www.etsy.com/shop/Woodturnedtoart
About Woodturnedtoart
In my opinion all wood is beautiful if only that beauty can be brought out. Wood has a random character that can not be duplicated by anything manmade. I try to expose and highlight that beauty in each of my pieces. After retiring from the State of Texas I explored a variety of interests for several years. Intrigued by some wood turnings seen at a wood carving show, and believing that everyone regardless of talent needs an outlet to express their artistic inclinations, I took a class at Woodcrafters in Austin, Texas in 2009. There I made a birdhouse and a lasting connection with woodturning and the woodturning community. Shortly thereafter I bought a lathe and set it up in a rented storage room in a Port Aransas RV park. There I made bowls and spindles and many mentoring contacts in the coastal bend area as my abilities improved. When we gave up the traveling lifestyle and returned to our home, I built a small shop and bought a better lathe. Now the hobby has become a full-time occupation that fills most days with learning and creating something pretty. I particularly enjoy custom orders for things I have never made before. I am a member of the Coastal Bend Woodturners Association and the Central Texas Woodturners Association. View all posts by Woodturnedtoart
