I was having a rattle around the internet over the weekend looking for some ideas of what to try my hand at next on the lathe, and I came across a few sites showing split vase’s and I was wondering how it is done (not that I think I will be up to trying it just yet)
I’ve had a bit of a think on how they do it but were wondering if anyone would care to confirm or deny my thoughts
1. Rough turn a vase shape in green wood.
2. Bore a hole down the centre.
3. Cut the slots into the vase using a parting tool.
4. Either wrap the vase up in the sawdust in a paper bag or nuke it in the microwave.
So how far off am I???
