Small Oak Vase.
I picked this piece of Oak up and started to turn it for another project that is going to be decorated all over, but when I rough turned it to allow it to do any moving before making the piece in question I discovered that the grain although quite straight wa to good to cover up.
Anyway the dicision was made to turn it wet. Finished with Lemon oil and buffed on the Chestnut buffing system.
I now like the texture now that it has time to dry a little.
I am starting to enjoy wet wood turning and seeing what it will do as it dries
