    That is a burl, and it is certainly hollow! Super nice for your first hollow form, Joe, and to get a fine burl like that is just icing on the cake! I would say that you are off to the races! The open void would give a lot of turners with more experience than you, a bit of "pucker factor," so it seems you managed that piece pretty well!
    Remember, in a moments time, everything can change!

    Wow! Not only turning skills, but picture-taking skills to match! Outstanding!
    Don't let it bring you down,
    It's only castles burning,
    Just find someone who's turning,
    And you will come around

    Outstanding piece of burl and you did a very fine turning job. It's a keeper for sure.

    Agree. The photo is an excellent representation of the form in one shot. And the form is lovely and the wood outstanding. Well done.
