After making the Jim Lorriman inspired stick vase I had one ring left over. After months of trying to think of some use for it I eventually came up with this.
I call this an international pepper mill as it is made from 5 species of wood, each from a different country - Yellow Wood (South Africa), Teak(Zimbabwe), Jatoba (Brazil) Australian Blackwood (Australia) and Poplar (Canada)
After completing a hardwood flooring project which involved a curved staircase I had a large quantity of offcuts. I decided to use these to produce a segmented vase. At 17in tall and 10in at the maximum diameter this is the largest turning I have done and really tested my trusty old Record No3 lathe.
