I think this is one of the pieces that cost me the most. I turned this cedar stump about 6 months into owning my HF lathe. Back then the only tools I had were from HF and a Sorby midi hollowing tool. I looked at the Sorby and figured I could make one a lil bit bigger so I went went to work. I was impressed with what my 200.00 lathe had done and was sucked in. What will I buy next?????
