Richard Pratchler has been busy with lots of projects.

The bowl is made from Elm 5 inches in diameter 3 inches tall.  Finished with Tung oil sealer and Teak Oil and then polished with the Beal system.  The vases range in height from 6 inches to 7 inches and 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter.  I used 5 different woods Saskatoon Berry, Lilac, Box Elder Burl, Caragana and Birch.  I used Tung Oil on some and Wipe on Poly on others and all are polished with the Beal system.  Lilac is filled with green exopy.
