This one was an experiment all the way through the process.I started by choosing a firewood block/round big enough to maybe kinda sorta end up like I hoped it would end up but with no guarantee because I ain't really good at carving with a chainsaw:
Then, I tried a chainsaw plunge cut that I've never tried before:
The hard part was being able to get down into the well of this vase to smooth the sides using a variety of tools to do so. Fortunately, I had the tools including a long neck die electric die grinder with a SaburrTooth cup rasp and SandBoss inflatable drum sander to smooth the inside.
After that, it was a simple matter of shaping the outside of the vase using a combination of carving discs and sanding drums to get the tapered shape of the vase.The final result is a 16 inch high vase with a 10 inch deep well.Feedback is appreciated.TZH
