Woodturning The Vase That Refused To Be A Box

http://www.AsWoodTurns.com

When I received this block of figured poplar at our club's wood raffle, I immediately thought, Box based on its size and grain orientation.

However, as I started turning and seeing the amazing grain patterns, the wood talked then screamed at me, Vase.

Personally, I think it could have been a beautiful box. But, it is a beautiful vase. I hope you can see the grain patterns in the pictures.

The vase is about 4 inches in diameter and 5 inches tall finished with walnut oil.
