These Bud Vases are made from wood I have kept after trimming Trees in Back Yard.
Paper Bark......Jacaranda ...... Chinese Elm... 
Turned on the Lathe and sanded then finished with several coats of Water Based Polyutherane.

working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.

Thank you.  Yes it is hard to chuck wood away.  I have a friend up North in a small town.  He is not a woodworker but enjoys looking at the colour and texture of his firewood.

Especially in a Jacobs on your drill press.

If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD

Nice turnings Cliff, these look great. Q; how did you hollow them out?, drill or online the lathe?
Nicely done.

Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".

Like the shapes Cliff!
Those are always popular items around the house.
Beautiful collection, Cliff!!! Nice work on them
