As I understand the piece of wood, a vase would be a gorgeous piece to
turn. If the crotch is used as the base it sounds like it would
naturally be more bulbous at the bottom. If at the top, it would flow
from a smaller to a larger form and could be made to open to a "v" at
the top. Of course the other way it could stand on two feet. How big a
lathe are you using to turn a 2' x 3' crotch?
