| Applying the finish is often as complicated as shaping the vase on the lathe. Here are three examples of the finishes that I apply to the turned vases. The left piece after carving was finished with 22 k gold leaf and lacquer. The middle piece is acrylic and laquer. An Inukshuk motif was carved onto the right vase which was left natural and finished with laquer. No two vases are the same. Each is made as a one only collector's piece. |
