1700. PROJECT: BUD VASE LAMINATED.pdf

A perennial favourite at craft shows and gift galleries. I have been making bud vases since 1981 and thought long ago that I would soon run out of demand for them. Yet, they are the bill-payers at shows and a good income from gift galleries to this very day. And the best part of all is that most of my wood is local firewood. Bud vases are usually one of the first things a beginning turner is asked to make because on the one hand they are so simple, fast, and easy to do, and yet, on the other hand they are extremely difficult to do well. In this article, I will show you my version from turning blank to saleable item and everything in between. A crucial element is design which is addressed at some length.

* The greatest shortfall of magazines and books is the limited space they are able to devote to an article due to the cost of publication. The article must by necessity be compressed, as is the information provided. This is not a limiting factor with the internet.
