As Wood Turns | Woodturning Olive Vase Hollow Form From Wet To Dry @AsWoodTurns | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 8 hours ago

This olive wood came from the Phoenix, Arizona area. While rough turning the vase instead of a full hollow, I bored a 2 inch hole. At 2 inches, I can drive the Jacobs chuck into the vase without an extension.

The wet wood was sealed with Tree Saver Green Wood Sealer
from Craft Supplies USA.

Over 17 months, the wood lost 24% of its weight through moisture loss.

Fortunately, no crack developed in the base.

This vase is approximately 5 inches diameter and 7 inches tall, finished with walnut oil.
