First hollow form

[Phil Pascoe]

Yew, oak and spalted Turkey oak. The polishing isn't finished yet.

The salt is merely to show it is actually quite hollow.

Nice, Phil - great feeling to have got one done, I'm sure. The yew looks great.

Well done on the first hollow form. On a personal note the top of the for where there is an angle to a flat I personally would have liked to have seen this curving into the base of the lid which will help the form flow more easily

 

[Phil Pascoe]

There is actually a little more of a curve than there appears at that angle, but truthfully the top was made for something else - it's for the end of the month competition so I thought I'd finish it first then if my original plan comes to nothing at least I have an entry finished. I'll post another top if I get that far.

Lovely finish.

 

[Phil Pascoe]

It's not actually finished - it's TruOil that still need polishing properly. I must admit it is looking good.

Nice, Phil - great feeling to have got one done, I'm sure. The yew looks great.

Especially as most of the hollowing was done with a home made tool that cost about a quid.

Nice job, lovely timber too. Well done!

what the hell is turkey oak? looks good by the way

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Quercus cerris. It's very common in Cornwall - I believe it was commonly grown for pit props as it grows quicker than English oak. It got a third in the TOTY.
