Ugly Vase - badwhiskey - 01-01-2017
I made my ugliest vase yet. The wood started as a firewood pile rescue. It split in half along the bark line on the lathe and went airborne. I nearly put it back in the firewood pile. I epoxied it back together and put in 6 wooden 'stitches' (3 on each side) to hold it together. I hollowed the vase with my new Jamieson Hollowing Tool. I wanted to go very thin, but was afraid it would blow apart again.

Goodness Frank send me a lot of your wood pile would you please, Please, PLEASE.
I think it is a terrific save. Well done buddy.
By the way what wood is it?
It looks like maple or birch or even poplar do not know what.

Thanks Arlin. I think it's Maple based on the spalting.

I think you must have posted the wrong picture.

Looks pretty awesome to me!

Pretty cool looking, if you ask me. There's a lot there to capture the eye. It isn't one of those pretty vases that you just look at, and then move on. This is one of those creations that make you study it for a few minutes. Once you see the straight inlay repairs, you start to try to dissect the entire vase, following the lines of inclusion, then the spalting, and then the rest of it, realizing how much actual work went into it.
It actually forces you to appreciate it, and the work and the patience it took.
One of my favorites I've ever seen here, actually.

How did you make the cuts to put in the stitches?
