Thank you, Larry! Consequently, this piece was commissioned for him. He also has no idea what the finished piece looks like, so he will see it for the first time in this video, which might make him my new favorite customer! This project presented many challenges, not the least of which was the requirement for stabilization. Although the finished piece showed very little resin, it was impossible to mount the log safely on the lathe with those deep cracks running through. So, that meant filling voids and stabilizing the entire piece by drowning it in resin. Although I generally prefer to remove the bulk of excess resin using carbide tools, I had planned and hoped to use traditional tools to refine the shape once it got down to the bare wood. In what little experience I have, what I am always certain of is that traditional tools are vastly superior to carbide tools when turning wood, and the finished piece would be 99% wood. However, the freshly sharpened bowl gouges were dulling immediately, causing the tool to bounce on the uneven surface. Oddly, however, the bowl gouges were only useful on the end grain. I fairly certain that the desert ironwood on the side grain was harder than the resin. I'm probably wrong about that, but that's what it felt like. There were a number of refreshing changes that this piece allowed for me, and one of those what the opportunity to use a traditional oil/wax finish. This vase was not required to be waterproof, so that opened up more options for shaping concepts. Resin finishes have a hard time adhering to sharp angles and edges, which means resin finishes require continuous curves. I wanted this piece to feature a sharp transition between the slender curve up from the base to the swooping under curve of the neck. This shape allows for the end grain to be featured as well as the side grain of the heart wood. This piece would have become too narrow if I had turned away all of the sap wood (the lighter wood). The blue resin also ended up growing on me. I thought it might be too loud of a color choice, but I think it adds a subtle detail that doesn't take too much away from the natural beauty of the wood.
