Applied Science | Turning a laminated wooden vase on the lathe @AppliedScience | Uploaded 11 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I've made a series of wooden vases and similar items by laminating contrasting boards, then turning them on the lathe. I like to use walnut, maple and either bloodwood or padauk to create a white/black/red theme. I almost never use stains, instead I just finish the wood with clear wipe-on polyurethane, using two coats for a fairly matte finish.
