While all my recent shop time has been devoted to a flatwork commission, I was able to squeeze in a little lathe time. I made this hollowing tool from 5/8" square bar stock, turned the end down to 1/2" to fit in the handle, and mounted a 3/16" HSS toolbit in the end. The handle was turned from some 8/4 Ash left over from another job and is 18" long. Overall length of the tool is 31". I did have more of a bend in the tool but realized that it wouldn't fit into most of the hollow forms that I have drying , so I straightened it out a little. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, so I don't know if it will work or not, but it was fun to make. Thanks for looking.
