This is a collection of vases, turned from some Holly branches/tree that my Neighbor
took down a few years ago, until recently it’s been seasoning in my attic.
Each one takes on its character.
They are finished with wipe on Poly, and all are thoroughly coated on the inside with a 2-part Epoxy, thinned with a dab of acetone so that they can with-stand water for fresh flowers.
Some of them are also on Etsy site
Thanks for looking.

Those are cool, they have character.
Good idea saving that holly. Was looking to buy some lately for it’s whiteness. Fairly expensive wood. I think I’ll put some of my trees branches away too…..............

Very interesting idea, the contrast between the bark and the white wood of the holly is quite unusual! I’ll give that a try :)

Nick, I have just recently worked with some Holly of my own. I love the pure color of it. The character that these pieces have are very nice.
