Not sure why, but this vase appeals to me more than most vases I've seen made. Maybe because it was from what could simply be a log from the firewood pile.

When I watched you rough shape it, it looked like there might be a couple of dings in your tool rest. Probably time to do some maintenance on it. Nice job overall.

How do your projects, made out of a full branch like that, not crack as they dry? Even being super old and dried out it seems they would crack later after being turned. Seems like water would always be trapped in there. Unless they are kiln dried.

Hey Max, in this case it was turned very thin which usually will not crack. Thanks for watching!

Looks amazing. 4-5 coats of finish, wow, do you need to slightly buff between those coats and how long does it normally take to sufficiently dry between coats?
