White Ash Vase
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
This White Ash vase was a bit of a challenge … the blank was irregular in shape, severely out of balance, and had rotted in the center leaving some nasty voids.I glued large waste blocks to both ends, which gave me some latitude in finding an axis to turn on. Some of the interior voids were pretty deep and close to the finished exterior profile so I had to take extreme care while hollowing to keep from blowing out the sides.It is 9-1/2 inches tall, 4 inches in diameter, with segmented walnut rings for the top and base. Finish is 2 coats of oil, followed by five coats of satin poly.I have a Oneway Bowl Steady that helps dampen vibration and used a Harrison Simple Hollower to take out the interior.
