Hi all

I knocked this out last week for my moms' upcoming 84th birthday. It's made of leopard wood, such a beautiful grain pattern. You may have seen this project in one of the woodworking magazines. ANyway, it came out real nice with crisp sharp edges. The finish is a spray-on lacquer.

Very pretty and outstanding craftsmanship, but I'd be afraid to put water in it for the flowers.

Yeah I thought of that. So I mixed up some 2-part casting resin poured it into the vase, and poured it back out. Let it cure for a day and did it again. So unless the resin cracks it's pretty much waterproof.

:thumbsup: That should make a beautiful piece very functional as well. :thumbsup: :yes:

Wow, that's gorgeous. I haven't seen that design before but I really like it and your choice of wood is excellent, as is your workmanship.

That turned out real nice. I saw it in Woodsmith, my favorite rag.
