Very nice, love the spalted wood. I would like to make some of these. What are typical dimensions, and how do you go about hollowing the endgrain? Use dry wood or green?

Thanks for the comments. These two are about 1 1/2" w x 2"-2 1/2"h. I just use a 1/2" round nose scraper to hollow out the endgrain (I drill a 3/8" hole first), a skew to shape the body, and 3/8" spindle gouge on the finials. The wood is dry wood.Originally Posted by Dan Forman
