3 Bud Vase from Wood Magazine

Looks very sharp. What kind of finish did you use?

Nice job, I just put that magazine article/plans down 5 minutes ago, It nice to see what a great job you did on this.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

Thanks for the nice comments :-)

The finish is a BLO/Shellac blend.

It turned out great. I just got that issue of Wood also, and That is the project that caught my wife’s eye

I need to make my sister a birthday gift….trying to imaging how pissed my wife would get if she see’s me making it, then it “disappears” to the UPS office?

If you don’t mind, what did the glass vases cost? I know they should be available at Hobby Lobby/Michaels etc. Just wondering about retail price to get them.

Well I don’t know your wife but I think you better make two! Just sayin’ :-)

I originally purchased some vases at Michael’s that bowed out in the middle but then I could only friction fit one side of the retainer planks, or make the top holes as wide as the widest part of the vase so they could come out for cleaning and I didn’t like those options.

I bought the originals at Michael’s for $2.99 but they didn’t have the straight side ones. Target came through at only $2.00 each.

I to have just read the Wood magazine article. Yours likes just like the original. I will have to put it on the to do list.
