A Eucalyptus vase

A vase turned from Eucalyptus ( I'm not sure what sort). About 160 mm (6 1/2") high. The piece has a couple of coats of shellac applied as a sealer - I recently started doing this and seems to produce a better finish. This wood was dry and comes from a tree that had to be removed from my garden a couple of years ago. Tell me what you think!

Ringholders completed and Saturdays meeting

The ring holders are completed in time. The 2 outer ones are made from Jacaranda and Imbuia while the inner 2 are made from Cyprus and Imbuia.





We also had a woodturners meeting yesterday with the highlight being a demo by At Smit who turns deep hollowed elliptical vessels.

The tallest vessel shown is 450 mm (18"). Something unique for sure!
