Bud Vase turned from 6/4 maple stock

Inside for water resistance, I applied 2 coats of wood hardener, 3 coats acrylic paint, and a lot of spray poly.

Outside is sanded to 1000 then spray on poly sanded to 1500 then buffed with tripoli and white diamond.

I stopped off on the way to work this morning and got a rose to put in it and delivered it to my wife at work.

I can't show the accompanying pen yet as I submitted for a contest with it.

She was very pleased and co-workers were impressed.
