This vase is made of plywood and 36 segments of old fence tiles, which you see in the dark central part.
That part is not turned, instade, it was wire brushed in the same direction of the grain ( the effect of the wire brush is not showing here, but it is very nice ). The plywood is in two positions, flat and vertical.
The size ?....well …think about it !

Cool project Sam. Would have been nice to get a picture of that beanstalk you climbed to get to the lathe though ;)

Sam, this is a gorgeous vase. I would never have believed that plywood could “turn” out looking so good.

I had no idea Australian flowers were so large. Do you have a pic with flowers in the vase?

Wow, at first I thought the turning project was massive, then I kinda figured that maybe your just a wee little man? not sure either way, nice looking turning (regardless of the actual size).

Sam, your projects have given me a new respect for plywood – and those who can make it look as beautiful as you do.

Imaginative turning and photography! Soon you won’t be able to buy plywood because of increased demand from LJ turners. Well done and nice looking Sam.
