Octagon Vase

Here’s an Octagon Vase made from found wood – red oak.
I used the new Gorilla Super Glue (CA glue) to hold it together.
There are a couple of hidden screws in the construction.

The studs are brass escutcheon pins.
I marked off the locations of the pins on blue painters tape, then pre-drilled the holes through the tape.
I used a light Warrington hammer to tap in the brass pins.

The finish is a liming wax that I made from my bees wax furniture polish and added natural red ochre for a little red blush.

I used all hand tools including Japanese-style saws, pull planes, an old edging plane (Western) and cabinet scrappers . No sand paper was used.

Now, back to rustic…

Take care.
