9 inch by 4 inch poplar. I'm a bit surprised that poplar with no added color can be so pretty. Finished with Danish Oil and Beall Buffing.

When I was very young and my parents used to drag us kids along when they visited older people, more often than not their living room/dining room area had a vase in it which looked a lot like this one. The color and size might vary, and it may be a little bit more or less squat, but this is a...
