BUD VASE AND TWO FILE HANDLES FROM MY LEMON TREE

Greetings,
I severely Prune my Lemon Tree each year...I find that it helps to produce a good crop of Lemons.   Also if some of the cuttings are big enough, into the wood pile it goes.
The pieces in the picture are quite small.  The Budvase is about 6 inches tall and the File Handles are just big enough for small files.
Very handy to have file handles on hand.  They are fun to make and look nice with the brass ferrules. 
It was a simple but enjoyable project spinning and shaping them on the Lathe.
They are finished with 3 coats of Poly and sanded between coats then buffed with wax.   I was able to do all the sanding and buffing on the lathe while it was spinning away.

Lemon wood is a lovely wood.  nice and smooth and although the white wood could be called boring, it does have a certain appeal with its blemishes.

Kind regards......Cliff.
