Woodturning Giant Tagua Miniature Vase

Tagua VaseThis video is also posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. – Best Right Here!

After I turned a miniature vase from tagua a year ago, a viewer, Terry, gave me a bag of giant tagua nuts at last year’s Utah Woodturning Symposium. I did not know tagua nuts could be this big. I wish I knew where to buy more.

This tagua vase is about 2 inches in diameter. No finish is necessary after fine sanding and buffing. Following tagua tradition, I left a bit of natural edge.

Enjoy!

    Thanks for another neat project Alan. I don’t have any experience using tagua nuts, but I wonder if they are at all oily, and if that might have kept the CA and epoxy from making a good bond with them. Just a thought.

    Very nice, looks too delicate for a beginner….
