This is my latest piece. It is hollow turned, and carved from one piece of Cherry and is 14" high x 5 1/2"dia x3/16"wall thickness. The rose was coloured with acrylics.

Hi Gwilym,Lovely piece of work and a very skilled bit of carving. This should be one for the ladies ;) Did you use the Microplane tools when doing the neck of the Vase I tried this once after seeing Nikos Siragas. www.siragas.gr  at a show demonstrating.

Hi John, thanks for the comments.  I used my router jig on the lathe to cut the initial grooves for the flutes the shaped with carbide burrs in the Dremel.

As ever Gwilym I am amazed by your skill and patience.

I'm not sure I like the colours - I think I would have preferred a more subtle tone.  But that's just an opinion.

I think the idea and style is stunning.

Cheers Dave
