Dyed Maple Vase

10" high with 3-1/4" being the top diameter. Wall is a little less than 1/4"
Wood is lightly spalted maple

Roughed out on the mini lathe and finished/hollowed on the big lathe so I could use my workpiece steady.

Dyed with Transtint dye mixed with water, laid on with an airbrush. It really takes some time to get the colors to blend.

Top rim is cut with a japanese saw after dyeing and cleaned up with files and sandpaper

Finish is sprayed lacquer, wet sanded and buffed.
