Hi, guys,

In his recent post re making an "Ash Vase" from wet wood, the Lord Woody made reference to the possibility of it splitting, and if it did, to add stitches. I did this some while ago with a laburnum mushroom. It beats throwing the thing into the fire, right?

Size is 9" high X 4.5" wide.

Bob.

I would say that it's a good thing that it split as it is something very special. I love it

It looks great, I wonder if a real contrasting lace, say Red, would enhance it.
