“I have been watching Theo’s live Demo. I also checked out his web page. I seen the picture of the Grecian vase and decided to try making a few. Here are pictures of some of the vases. I used Saskatoon Berry, Lilac, Caragana, Box Elder Burl and birch. the range in height from 6 to 7 inches and 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. I struggled a bit at first to get bead and to leave a little gap but finally got it. The Lilac I had to fill with green epoxy.”
