Wood turning ( Scrap wood to vases )

Hi in this video i Used a pile of wood that i had from previous projects glued them up and made these pieces , there were a few issues i ran into like getting these small pieces lat on both sides , a way to get rid of the gaps was to make groves with and parting tool and a skew , another one was the ridges between the glueups a way around that is to sand and finish and then resand as that gets the grain to rise and you can get rid of most of the ridges between the wood , hope this gives you and idea for your next cut off or scrap wood projects peace.
