I built almost certainly near to a hundred of these turned picket bud vases between 1993 and 1994, when I was an intern at the St. Croix Everyday living and Environmental Arts Task.
The vases were being made from the branches of hardwood trees (mainly mahogany) which were also small to mill. I would consider a six-to-eight foot department, bark and all, and slice it into 8 inch long sections on a bandsaw. Then I would have the box of slash branches around to the lathe and shell out the rest of the day turning out bud vases.
It was pleasurable when I’d initially hit the bark-included wood with the chisel, it would make a great deal of sounds and sawdust and mildewed bark would fly just about everywhere.
It was incredibly fulfilling to generate these parts, since the weathered tree branches contained all kinds of irregularities, which include the monotonous holes remaining by different worms and insects.
All of the hardwood we applied at St. Croix Leap, was both salvaged from useless trees (hurricane Hugo experienced remaining a large amount of those lying all-around), or recovered lawfully and in an ecologically audio manner, from our landscaping operations.
