woodturning vase of padouk and blue epoxy resin
I made a vase from padouk and blue epoxy resin, but it actually did not become a real vase because I hollowed it out shallowly.
This is a project I started three years ago and only recently completed.
After I had poured the epoxy resin between the wood and allowed it to harden, I sawed off the excess material and started turning it.
At first everything went well, turning the outside and finishing was no problem, but during the hollowing process something went wrong, the tenon broke off even though I had used a steadyrest.
I recently decided to give it another try and managed to complete the vase.
Because the epoxy has become rock hard after three years of hardening, I hollowed out the vase shallowly, so it is really nothing more than a turned object
The vase has a turned diameter of 13 centimeters and is 38 centimeters long, but when the vase is standing it is 30 centimeters high, 25 centimeters wide and 13 centimeters deep.
