Curly Maple and Sapele Mahogany vase - Splinterz25 - 08-07-2017

[attachment=3620]Hello everyone I'm new to this site thought I would show you what I've been up to; I haven't picked up a lathe chisel in over a year, been working on an old house we bought. Well I'm on vacation and took a few days and put this project together. So I just finished turning this 13" x 7.5 " Curly Maple and Sapele Mahogany vase Yesterday, it still needs a few more coats of varnish. I hope you all like it as much as I did making it.

First Welcome and hope you keep coming here and sharing your fine work with us.
Yes

I like how you did it and the fit and finish also.  Do you buff them to a higher polish when done?

Thank you guys I think I'll like this site. I have a question though how do you add to your profile? Photo, Icon etc.

Arlin: Yes it will get buffed , I'm old school I'll steel wool and varnish it a few more times them buff w/ tree wax.

I think I just remembered how to do it.

Go the the upper left part of this page which says "User CP with a guy on the left to it"  and click on it.

I was in the first desert storm and after that for 9 total tours in the middle east.

WOW! 10 tours of duty thanks again for your service and helping keeping this great nation FREE!!!
