Do You Think.....

Do you think that I went a bit thin.







I was having a play with my new toy a crown revolution hollowing tool spent a few minutes setting it up and having a practice on the above piece. First impressions is that it is a good tool. So looks like I will be turning a few hollow forms in the future, I may even have to add some colour and texture to them as well.

It was meant to be a hollow form and I managed to go through the side OOOOPS . Also look at the right hand side and you can see where it cracked after it came off the lathe also at the bottom as I am holding it you can see the hole I was hollowing it through.

I have turned things that thin before from kiln dried wood and they have not moved. If this had come out complete it would have moved as the wood was wet.
