Hawaiian Norfolk Pine vase's

[Kalai]

Hi everyone, sorry I have not posted very much recently but since I am a fulltime woodworker I get busy sometimes, I have been working on a order of 50 Koa bowls, I have about another week of work and then they should be done but I had to take a break from the bowls and I turned 6 Norfolk Pine vases and this is 3 of them, the other 3 are almost done. the tallest vase is 8 inches tall and 5 inches in diameter. When I do vases with Norfolk Pine I use a gloss polyurethane finish on them to bring out the color, I will be doing some bowls out of Norfolk Pine and I will be soaking them to make them translucent and I will post pics of those too. Well back to work, aloha.

Nice job, that one in the middle looks like it is giving the "evil eye" to someone!

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments. I like Norfolk Pine because it is easyer to get than Koa wood and it looks nice too. Most of my customers like the when I do it so it looks like eyes, like the one in the center. Thanks again and aloha.
