A very interesting and enjoyable video William, and a really lovely looking piece at the end. I wonder if before hitting it for a second time with the blowtorch another "dampening" session might of helped with the hairline cracks that did appear ... just a thought ... and I don't get many of them! ;) Cheers Mike
Hi Mike and thanks for your thoughtful comments. Yes, you may well be right in that I omitted to consider this, probably due to age and also the two-day interruption at Yandles. I do like this charing work the results are very pleasing to the eye but Ive so so much catching up to do with Pat and Max!
Loved it, and I liked the eccentric rim. If I had seen two vases in a store, one "perfect" and one with the eccentric rim, I would pick up the second one because it is, literally, extraordinary.
Absolutely love it William. It opens up all sorts of possibilities for decorating pieces. I actually preferred the first burn you did which really accentuated the grain. 😀 ❤️it
What a Beautiful vase William!!! Please excuse me, I don't presume to tell you anything, with that said I only wish that in the end you had hand carved or hand scraped the rim to the same wall thickness to hide from the eye the eccentric rim. I feel badly about having said that, because you are very talented and I truly enjoy your work. I hope that you don't take my comment as criticism but merely an observation.
Steve, thanks for the useful comments. No need to apologise for your insight Steve. Quite simply, I never thought of that otherwise might have done that. I'm really quite a novice having only been turning for just under 4 years. With 20/20 hindsight I could have used a drum sander or the like to hide it, next time!
Hi Steven, all my Cypress is quite dery, but the truck pat Carroll taught me top spray it with water first worked. But it warped whilst we were chatting at Yandles!
nice job apart from the concentricity thanks for the usual tips you gave one again it helps a lot to get tips from craftsmen like yourself. sorry about the spelling I just bring to mind how that is spelled
Hi William, another nice video and final result, as for the eccentric rim i would have tried a metal lathe turners trick which i have used for over 35 years, for a metal lathe you place a round ended punch in the tool holder, ease off the chuck just enough and gently bring the punch into contact with the rotating piece until it is near round running, i cant see why this would not work with a wood lathe but using a cloth covered stick to nudge the piece into round, tighten chuck and job done, cheers Dave ex clockmaker
A nice piece. What do think the advantages are of using the tripoli paste rather than the Beal buffing system which uses the Tripoli, White Diamond cutting compounds, followed by the Carnuba wax. Thanks Montana Wood Art.
Hi Norma, these are mainly objet d'art but can be used for dry flowers of course. There are various metal and glass inserts you can but to make them into practical vases, but have to be designed around the insert.
Can you explain to me Patrick how in heaven's name can you do tutorial without talking????? Oh and explain to me without saying/writing anything. Expectantly Mike

Interesting piece William good outcome 👍
Thanks Chris.
Great looking vase
Thank you!!
That is without doubt a stunning piece William, accompanied as usual by a very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andy, it would have been better not to have has the excentric rim. My own fault.
Absolutely love it William. It opens up all sorts of possibilities for decorating pieces. I actually preferred the first burn you did which really accentuated the grain. 😀 ❤️it
Miss Tee So did I.
Thanks Tee, Yes I like this too but need more practice. Personally I hate the smell of the wood but I'm going to persevere. .
A great video William and a even better end result. The burnt orange on the charred wood looks amazing. 👊👊👊
Thanks Martin, some more work needs to be done, but I do like this. Aspiring to come somewhere close to Max and Pat!
What a spectacular vase William , I like the technique. Super video as always thanks for sharing.
Thank you Gary, I enjoys this technique, but it takes some mastering.
Thankyou William for another informative and inspiring video. I always look forward to seeing your episodes . Thankyou again, Don
Hi Don and thanks for the kind comments.
Absolutely love this project William. Inspiring as always. Thank you x
Thank you maggie, its more difficult than I thought, you would think torching your work easy right?

Very beautiful William!! Great job turning as well!!
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks Russell!
Thought this was a great video William, I can't wait to try this for myself one day! :D
Thanks Dave, hats off to Max and pat this is more difficult than you can imagine. Going to buy myself a colouring book for next project.
Lovely colour! I felt that the dye was a nice choice there.
Hi Mat and thanks, yes the burnt orange was a good choice.

Hi William, That is a stunning piece. I love the end colour contrasting to the natural inside of the vase. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw, I like this technique abut i need more practice.
I think that’s really nice, love the colour.
Hi Derek, yes the burnt orange colour over the charring works well.
Nice one William. Hmmm I have a chunk of wet cypress and a easy arm hollower hum ho diddly do of we go 🤣🤣🤣😜

Hi Dave, that's an interesting idea and I may have seen this done, Ill try it next time this happens, thanks!
A nice piece. What do think the advantages are of using the tripoli paste rather than the Beal buffing system which uses the Tripoli, White Diamond cutting compounds, followed by the Carnuba wax. Thanks Montana Wood Art.
I have no experience of these products, so I can't advise, sorry!
That's still a nice looking piece, William. Will you try it again soon? I hope so.
Thanks William!, yes there will be an attempt #3
Are these vases purely decorative or can they be used as a vase?
Hi Norma, these are mainly objet d'art but can be used for dry flowers of course. There are various metal and glass inserts you can but to make them into practical vases, but have to be designed around the insert.
To much talking
It's a "how to video" hence the explanation.
Can you explain to me Patrick how in heaven's name can you do tutorial without talking?????
Oh and explain to me without saying/writing anything.
Expectantly
Mike
Mike Waldt You go for it my man!! Xxx
