Woodturning - PINE Log and FIRE - Looks Like Pottery!!

I was watching some pottery videos and then made this piece from some pine. I thought afterwards it would be pretty cool to torch it. Thanks for watching and I hope that you enjoy it.

Very nice work, Jim. You mentioned possibly using a mortise on the bottom of the vase. That is pretty dangerous on an end grain piece. Because it is end grain tightening the chuck, or having a catch, or just the stress of cutting on a piece will cause the wood to split like firewood and the mortise will fail. I'm not saying it can't be done, I'm just saying it is dangerous. Keep on turnin and learnin.

Thanks as always. I tend to stay away from mortises. But I wanted to finish the bottom without using a huge jam block. Thanks for your concern!

By the way. I am not the safety police. They are the only kind of police I do not get along with.
