re: Vases

I can see how these would really draw traffic. The roses have a thicker boarder vs the stems. Is that filled or just burned. Either way it works well for this design. The last ones you made looked like all the pieces were butted up to remove most or all of the kerf. This one uses the black to it's advantage which I'm not sure would have worked on your other design.
These are very nice Bruce, I hope you made good money from these because I bet this style does very well.
