Todays efforts part one

[chas_41_uk]

Today was the first day this year that the weather had been warm enough to venture to the shed. Six weeks without turning a thing, it felt like an eternity.

Anyway. I made an attempt at my first "bud vase". The shape didn't work as I was hoping and I should have got rid of the foot, but I am happy enough with the neck. All part of the learning curve.
I think the wood is Oak, it came from a mixed lot and it is 6" tall.

Have to agree with you Chas the foot spoils it the rest of it is spot on and its well finished turn a dowl to fit in your chuck and the neck bring up the tailstock and remove the foot job done and worth doing it a nice bud vase

 

[chas_41_uk]

Yep I thik that is what I will do, cheers Woody

It is a good effort Chas, at least you can work on the base knowing you wasn't happy with it .. The vase is of good shape my friend ..

 

[Terry]

Good effort Chas and put the foot down to the learning curve!!!!

 

[Penpal]

Too subtle for me Terry.

Lovely Bud Vase Chas indeed nowt wrong with this one when you change that foot mate.

Have to agree about the foot Chas. Looks like beech though.

 

[Dalboy]

+1 for the foot not being right. The vase section however is well portioned and nicely turned.

Looks good to me.

See what you mean about the foot. But that doesn't detract from how well it's been turned mate. Nice one

 

[Buckeye]

It looks great Chas, but if you can sort the foot it will look even better.

Peter

 

[bassethound]

Well turned regardless Chas!

 

[Kardav]

As everyone else has said Chas, nice form and turning on the vase, will be great without the foot. Off. Off. Off. Off. Ha Ha. Let's see a picture when you've done it mate.

Nice work, Chas - leaving the foot on will prevent it from falling over, matey!

Nice looking bud vase that Chas.

I agree with Woody & it's easy to do his way, otherwise a nice piece & it is oak.
