This is my first hollow form. It is made of cherry burl with a wall thickness about 1/4". It is 3" tall x 3 3/4" diameter at the largest diameter. Finished with WOP (wipe on poly) It still needs a few more coats then it will be buffed and waxed.
I am going to try to make a finial for this one also.
More to the story... in January 2012, I had convinced my wife to let me buy a Monster articulating hollowing system, but I was working on the road for 9 months that year. I took a different job, the one I am currently in, and finally got around to using the system. It really works well. The piece of wood was left from a bowl that I had made and sat on the shop floor for over a year. I couldn't make myself cut it up for pen blanks because I thought it would make a good hollow form.
C & C are welcome. This is my first, so let me know what you think.
