Test Tube Vase out of Recycled Oak

I came across a hand full of test tubes ( new ) and thought that they would make an interesting vase. I took a very cupped piece of white oak and worked it flat and reasonably square.
I drilled 3 1" holes into the block, gave it a quick sad up to 320 grit. I applied mineral oil and a Beeswax and mineral oil salad bowl finish.

I like that you used a smaller piece of wood for this project -- I'm all about using scraps for cool projects!

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks! Scraps are tones of fun!

[@FigmentsMade]

Some of the detail shots are really quite lovely. And I love the sounds of the test tubes being filled!

[@heyimamaker]

I did too! I was surprised that the camera recorded them that well.

Boy 0' boy was that wood cupped! Great fix for that and great use of the test tubes. Elegant!

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks! I know! It was, unfortunately, the only piece that I had in the right size.

This was very addicting to watch haha those video angles were on point, great work!

[@heyimamaker]

Thank you sir!

[@EricHoffWillCodeForCoffee]

It's always fun to watch your videos!

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks Mr Hoff!

Cool idea, I have a lot of test tubes I didn't know how to use. This is a great idea!

[@heyimamaker]

I think some little test tubes with singular blocks would look really nice as well. Even as a liner for live flowers. I would love to drill into a rock and do the same thing.

[@EvanDunville]

Hey I'm a Maker those are both cool ideas

[@heyimamaker]

Like most holidays, This video was last moment ;)

I think it’d be a good idea to put commentary in the closed captions

[@heyimamaker]

I have thought about it.
