This vase has all been done on the scrollsaw and oscilating sander and using a little elbow grease.
It is intended for either a dry arrangement or fresh flowers using a jar instead of a proper vase.
Its funny but it looked soooo much better when the flowers were in it compared to just by it self.
I am pretty happy with the outcome as it took a little configuring to be able to have a scrolled curve. I really was sick of just doing something flat on the scrollsaw – and thought WHY does it actuallty have to be flat. So I went about designing the picture to suit then fiddling around in how to get a curve and cut it. Then finally sorting out the shape of the vase to look good.
It is made from maple and the top/base I think is cedar & coated with a few coats of poly.
Hope you like it.

Really fresh approach Teresa I assume you cut it in half,scrollsawed the front & then glued it back together?
Did you shape it before cutting the design. AlsoI like the warmth & contrast the Cedar adds to it

Looks fantastic Theresa. Beautifull scroll work as always and I really like the shape. The feet are a nice touch as well. Well done!

Theresa, I showed this to my wife and her eyes popped open and she said “that’s beautiful” and indeed it is! She wants to know how you were able to do this on the scroll saw. Did you split it first?
