Holly Bud Vase #43
______________________________________________

I turned this bud vase from a bunch of Holly I got from friends in Oregon. It is signed, dated and numbered on the bottom. The vase is approximately 5-5/8" tall and 2-3/4 " in diameter. I burned in a simple dentil decoration, sanded to 600-grit, and hand rubbed it with Danish oil until it wept. The neck is hollowed and tapered. The small, tight knots on the neck give it an interesting character.

Please contact me to inquire.

My bud vases are hand-made from natural wood that is rough-turned green and air dried. I then finish turn the vases, sand and hand finish with Danish oil. Paste wax should be applied periodically to maintain the warm glow of the finish and protect it from the environment. Over time, your vase's color will age and mellow. Natural aging can be reduced by protecting the vase from sunlight.

Please do not place water in the vase or immerse the vase in water.
