Vase

In the pictures below is a vase I turned recently.  It's from a piece of maple, stands about 8 inches tall and is about 5 inches wade at the widest point.  The finish is several coats of satin lacquer.
Hopefully the pictures capture the unique character of the wood.  The wall thickness is just a little thicker than I would normally do.  I didn't want to have voids showing all the way through, about 5/16" was about the limit before holes started to show up.
