Finished this little lot today I needed the bud vases for my stall as I sold out of them at the last show.

The bowl is unknown wood but the vases are 2 mahogany 1 laburnum and 1 oak, there was going to be 2 oak but 1 had a split I thought that I had managed to turn it out. This is how I display them with the flowers

Like the variety of form, looks like a relaxing time on the lathe, one of those "Let's Do It" sessions where things can simply go with the flow.

They look nice Dalboy and if they sell well even better =D> =D>

Thank you both and yes it was a case of find odd bits that I cut off some bowl blanks where the wood was longer than the width but not that long I could get another bowl from it but ideal for these, or where a square bowl blank developed a split which makes it too dangerous to turn. I don't believe in throwing away those odd bits as they have a home somewhere.

Dalboy, it's strange how fickle folks can be; on two occasions I displayed bud vases with flowers/grasses in and none sold but within minutes of removing the flowers I sold a few.
I like the simple shapes of yours and hope they all find good homes.
