Here was a fun project. I moved some wood around and found several small Birch logs and threw them under the bench that the lathe sits on. One piece bounced back out and I took this as a sign that it wasn’t happy just laying around and wanted to be turned. So I put it on the lathe and this weed pot, a vase, was what was hidden inside the log and trying to get out. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It has a flowing, almost bowling pin like, shape and it stands at about 7 1\/2″ tall and is 3″ at it’s widest point and almost 2″ at it’s base. It is finished with Tung oil and buffed with the Beall Buff System.<\/p>\n

This just goes to show what can be hiding in a woodpile. Of course, since seeing this the other logs have been screaming, “Me next, me next!” <\/p>\n
All in due time, all I due time. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
