hello folks

what with one thing or another its been a couple of months since i've done any hollow forms or vase's
here's my first effort of getting back into the swing of things!!

the initial blank was 13" long and about 7 1/2" square- mounted between centres

thank you for your comments

I use lemon oil as a finish until the wood is dry then I will finish it with woodoc 10

I used a proxon carver with a flex cut v gouge to do the neck detail
