This one is for the good lady wife, she likes straight long vases, obviously nothing easy :nooidea: so as she is out shopping at the mo I took the opportunity to turn this for her as a bit of a Christmas stocking filler.

Made from the same spalted Sycamore as yesterdays bowl, but with far less spalting, it is 8" high & 3" at the base with a slight taper up to the top, finished with carnauba wax.





Sorry the photos aren`t brilliant but I was in a rush as I wanted to get them taken & posted before she came home.

To be fair any bloke who puts up an avatar of himself in glasses with a big red nose & antlers has got to expect such comments from his nearest & dearest :whistling::funny::funny::funny:

Very nice Doug... did you put your tool in it?

I don't know about putting it in your Mrs Stocking but I bet Paul McCartney would buy it to put in his old Mrs stocking. Did you know he bought her a plane for Christmas.... and a lady shave for the other let... yes... you can't beat the oldies.:thinks:
