Fancied trying this for a while and thought to heck with it have a bash man. Really enjoyed doing this one.

6 inch dia at top x 5 inch high, tung oil finish (2 coats) more to go this week. Shame about the pip in the base :nonono:

I'm not sure about the foot, opinions ?

Well done Phill I'm not keen on the foot but dose that matter it's your vase made how you wanted to so as far as I'm concerned you have made a good job of turning it and the finish looks to be coming on very well bloody well done mate :banana::thumbs::thumbs:

If you ever see the very funny Simon Whitehead demoing he uses a very funny line, he says

"you know how all Woodturners have a signature style or mark, well mine is a little pip in the bottom"

oh how we laughed:banana::banana::banana:

Really well turned and finished Phil. The foot doesn't look out of place and is proportional to the overall size, I like it. If you're happy with it mate, its a winner! :thumbs::thumbs:
