Woodturning - The Biggest Piece I've EVER Made!

In this video, I turn a large piece of fallen Elm into a massive statement vase!
The wood used to connect the two halves of the vase together was figured Ash, I will be using its offcuts for a video in the future as they are far too beautiful to burn!

The vase was sanded to 1000 grit and finished with Danish oil and Wood wax. Let me know what you think, and if you'd like to purchase this piece. This statement vase is approximately 550mm x 290mm!

Disclaimer:
My videos are for entertainment purposes only. Some of my techniques might not be the "best" or safest, so when using any tool or machinery always read and understand safety/manufacturers guidelines first.
And Yes, I'm aware that wearing gloves while woodturning is considered an unsafe practice. The gloves I wear are tight-fitting and don’t have any loose threads. I wear them for the protection of my skin. This is a risk that I am willing to take, however I am still very conscious of the potential danger and I do not touch any spinning parts of the lathe. DO NOT copy my actions if you feel unsafe doing so.
