Terrific bit of wood and great bit of turning Woody, what is the hollowing tool you used, I have been thinking for some time of trying some hollow forms.

Hi Rod I used two the black one is the Rolly Munro which is a great tool in every respect the other is a combination of the Robert Sorby arm brace with a home made attachment with an osculating end bit but I think you can now buy them
I haven't finished the vase yet I have been out all day the shop in Newark wanted some more bowls and pens

 

[woodyturner]

Outside sanded and had some Teak oil applied hope to finish the inside tomorrow it has ended up 12" tall

 

[KimG]

An unusual shape Woody! Quite formal, but it suits the piece well, looks like a tricky task dealing with the inside!
