Little cherry bud vase

It was going to be another HF attempt, but the knot gave me some trouble and it got skinny.

As pictured, just one coat of real tung oil; it will get more.

Nice save Andy - I like working with Cherry - I have a couple of burls I don't know what I am going to do with yet - I might let them dry out some more and attempt some bottle stoppers out of them - they are not very big ones

Thanks!
BTW, this was another "tenon glued into a mortised faceplate" projcet and I took my time to make sure I had a secure join. A chuck would be a lot more convenient but I like the added security. It didn't budge off center when I cleaned up the end.

Hi Andy, nice vase, the wood looks great, I always wanted to work some Cherry but never got the chance yet, Cherry does'nt grow in Hawaii, oh well. keep up the good work, aloha.

Thanks for sharing Andy! Looks great! There's nothing like the smell of cherry when you work it!
