So this is what I ended up with. It was a piece of the Budleiah my outlaws trimmed last weekend, and I wanted to make something they could keep to remind them of it. No particular reason, I'm just strange like that. I wanted to keep some natural edge (because the rest of the grain is a bit bleh) and I had an image in my mind of the shape I was after. Unfortunately the finished shape only slightly resembles that image, and I over cut the base so that it appears to small for the rest of the vase. Ah well, at least it can be an experiment in turning wet wood! I don't have a tool for hollowing either, so the inside surface is far from perfect.
