I had added some temporary fin-like reinforcements to a vessel I was working on this last summer which gave it a vaguely rocket-like appearance. I thought I'd harvest that impression and reinforce it a bit to make a more-refined version of the same concept. This obviously isn't intended to be any kind of accurate model - it's instead meant more as an ordinary turned vessel with just a dash of rocket-booster flavour.
The vessel is
constructed from a central turning which was then modified by adding six separate support struts, with everything made from Figured Maple. I suppose theoretically it could have all been carved out of a single piece but I'm not that much of a glutton for punishment.
