A few Hollow Forms.
Here are the last two HF's I finished. They are both finished with deft spray and buffed to a shine. the first one is spalted maple 5 1/2" in dia. The second is ambrosia maple 12" by 6" high. Both where hollowed using the #1 hooker tool John Jordan sells.

Those are beauties; such a nice job! The first two look like perfect spheres. How did you accompish that? I like the finish too.

Wonderful shapes and wood!
Jack, The first one in the spalted maple is very appealing and the lovely! I love the round shape and the finish brings out all the beauty in the grain! You have done a fine job on both, keep up the good work!
Jeff

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I used the center of roll of duct tape to check the roundness of the first bowl. You can lay the hole in the center of the tape or a piece of PVC pipe on the bowl and slide it around to see if you are close to a sphere. The cool thing about this bowl is that the bottom is just a bit heavy so you can sit it down on it's side and let it go. It will rock around for a minute or more before it stops on it's bottom. I have a large 18" dia. open form drying that I turned from the other half of the ambrosia maple. It is still a few months from dry, but I will post a picture of it when done.
Thanks again, Jack

Nice pieces Jack. Was this local wood? About how long does it take to do the hollowing out part?

Those are really cool! I especially like the first one. They have an Ellesworth vibe to them.
