    Katrina II Pear hollow form

    Here's the other end of the Pear crotch that I got from hurricane Katrina. I roughed turned it during the weekend of my get-together. Luckily, Mark Cothren had the foresight to take some pictures of it in progress, since I've been slacking on taking before and after pics as some of you guys have requested.

    Finished buffing today. Ended up at 9 1/2" diameter by 7 1/2" tall. Natural Watco finish then buffed.

    Man, that is so cool and I do love to see the transition from rough to finished product. Just a fabulous piece! Love it.

    Travis,
    I do not have the ability to express the awe I experience before your work with words.

    Your soup is going to fall out! That is very nice. I love the colors. What tool do you use for hollowing?

    Terry, I use a home-made Jamieson style captured hollowing rig with a J. Jordan bent hollowing bar. I really like the Jordan bar, very solidly built.

    Travis,

    That turned out great! Do you really just throw a log on and go to work?
