Stonewall Jackson Prayer Tree Vase

White Oak Vase -SJPT

This is a vase from the Stonewall Jackson Prayer Tree. I was commissioned back in March to do this turning......the lady wanted one like another I had done before......only the first one cracked at the base, but I managed to stabilize it. I put this one through the DNA soak, and after a couple of days pulled it out and wrapped it and put it inside a paper bag and weighed it about twice a week.............after 8 weeks it stopped losing weight, so I had an evening free today since it was Father's Day, and I thought some shop time was in order for my rest and relaxation .

This one is 7.25 inches tall and 4.25 wide............has two coats of shellac to pop the grain and 7 coats of WTF on it...........it will look better tomorrow after this cures some.
Odie.....a couple of links for you and others to see the history of this tree....
