    Spalted Sweetgum hollow form

    I've had some Sweetgum blanks cooking for a few months, I think they're done. The tearout was pretty bad, but sandpaper is my friend. Hollow form with textured rim, 10" diameter by 5" tall. Gel poly finish then buffed.

    Travis,

    You're killing me with these shots. That is one wicked good piece. How do you keep doing it so consistantly?

    Thanks for sharing another great one.

    I have done so much with so little for so long I am now qualified to do anything with nothing......

    P.S. If you are interested in plans for any project that I post, just put some money in an envelope and mail it to me and I will keep it.

    Keith, I had to throw this out so it wouldn't get trampled in the confusion. I have my vantage point picked out so I can have a safe view of the incoming carnage.
