I have had a few people ask if the vases in my "Wooden Vases on the Scroll Saw" book were hard to make. This small wooden vase should give you a good idea of just what is involved in making the vases. You can download this one for free and try your hand at making one for yourself. This one is only four inches tall so you will be able to grab a couple scraps from the scrap box to build it. The technique is the same for the larger vases in the book. I kept the fretwork easy also so you can get a feel for the project without spending to much time on it.
Even though this one is small I think it is still a nice project that you could make for this summers craft shows. If you have the right sanding equipment you can knock these out pretty quick so I think you could make a profit from these. If you have to hand sand you might have a little too much time in the project for it to be a profit maker. They would make great gifts regardless of how you make them.
The pattern book shows complete instructions but you will see that they are easy to make. Give this one a try and I think you will be hooked on this technique.

Think Safety
Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
