Updated: 4/23/2020. The vases are now for sale on my CarlFordWoodturner Etsy Store
I recently completed the above vases in a little over a week. One per day!
I needed to turn a vase in one day for a student demo. From green log to sanded, painted and finished vase in one day. It worked! No cracks and the vase dried out nicely.
I love having pieces that I don’t need twice turn, and/or paint and finish later. I am still playing around and experimenting. So far, so good.
I just opened my new “CarlFordWoodturner” shop on etsy! Please shop early and often!
https://www.etsy.com/shop/carlfordwoodturner/
My high quality pieces are priced to sell! You win because I have a lot of pieces that I want to sell!
I am going to add more stuff over the next couple of days. Then I hope to add 2 new pieces per week.
There are also never seen before pictures of my stuff.
