The meaning of the word Tulips is Deep Love and after putting up with me for 45 years she still loves me.Today is our anniversary and I made this for TLOML
Vase is 6" tall made of walnut, maple, bloodwood, and green poplar. She loves it . messed up the alignment on the first maple

Well Done and done well.
Nice effect with the significant differences and contrasts in wood choice.

Excellent job on the vase (and on the tulips if you made or grew them).
More importantly, Happy Anniversary!

Very nice work. Are those bandsaw tulips or inside-out turnings?

Happy Anniversary! my friend. Women are really tolerant of their men and hopefully all of us over look each others faults
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
