    Vase

    When I scored some Oak from a neighbor, I got curious and also took some wood that came right from where the big roots go into the tree. It is real light and a bit spongy, so i did not have high hopes. It teared pretty bad while turning, but sanded easily.

    The vase below is just under 4" tall, and I cheated, it is only partially hollowed (first time use of a hollowing tool and I did not want to loose this one). My niece likes origami and made the 'flower'.

              Very nice vase, Gerd. The root balls have nice figure, almost as good as burl.

                Nice vase. Gotta start start thinking of making one of those. I hope it turns out as nice as that one.
