Carved Fluted Vase is deep wood turned Maple vase featuring a turned form that is then carved with deep flutes.  The colors are applied with an airbrush to show different shades of color.  The size is 4 1/2 inch diameter at the top tapering to a 2 1/4 inch diameter at the base and is 7 1/2 inches tall.  It is a great stand alone item and can feature a selection of dried flowers. 
This item will be a great addition to any art collection.  If you collect art or are starting out  Patina Vase belongs in your collection.  Picture it as a centerpiece on a shelf.  Surely it will be a conversation piece. My signature, Alan Adler is on the bottom.  A deep vase like this is much more challenging than making a bowl.  I designed built a Steady Rest tool that fits onto the lathe and supports the vase as it spins at high speed.  Without the Steady Rest, the turning can become dangerous with the wood flying out of the chuck.  When that happens duck, pray and take a break.

Care for your Carved Fluted Vase
Keep out of direct sunlight
Minimize exposure to wide swings in humidity levels
Do not wash with water, if necessary use only a damp cloth
Wax lightly with a quality food safe wax or oil and buff to restore the luster.  I like beeswax, walnut oil or mineral oil.
