Bud Vase

I'm a "Surpie," or so says my loyalty punch card from American Science and Surplus in Milwaukee. I love rummaging around at their various offerings of Army surplus, laboratory supplies, and random marketplace castoffs, to see what materials I can reimagine into something useful. These vases are made using standard 60ml glass beakers, repurposed as a little bud vase. The wood base is made from two pieces put together using egg-crate joinery. They can slip apart like a puzzle and lay flat for easy storage.
