I decided on bookends and following a bit of googling and with inspiration from Chippendales director came up with this



However that’s not what I am asking for your thoughts on
I was given the timber from a full-size snooker table and wanted to consider what to do with the legs

The first thing to come from the legs were the above bookends however today I have had a go at something to go with the bookends and came up with a wooden vase
A picture paints a thousand words so take a look at this short WIP and give me your thoughts positive or negative both on my technique/methods and the finished article



















Forgot to take photo’s of the fluting but that was also done on the engineering lathe
If I were to make others I think I would invest in a 3” forstner bit as the boring for the glass got a little bit laborious
