June’s challenge, inspired in part by Jesse’s recent accomplishment, and since we all have practiced turning air, will be a flat sided vase or weed pot. The difference between a vase and a weed pot is that a weed pot is for dried flowers. To borrow a line from Ron Hughes, what is the difference between a vase and a vaze? Answer: $50.00. Extra bragging rights to the turner that has the largest ratio of width to thickness. From personal experience, dense hardwood is the easiest to turn and you want to turn as fast as you can while still remaining safe. If you decide to use a glass insert, provide plenty of clearance for wood movement.
