Another Tour-de-force with the carving Hughie, really appreciate the consistency of the spacing and profile.

EnErY, you'll never achieve that with a spiralling tool

........ What is the wood ?

Eucalyptus Burl from Tasmania, now how do I know that
Funnily enough I have a darn great lump of it just readied for the lathe but I doubt it will be as well crafted as that little beauty.

And there was me thinking it would be difficult to achieve

Absolutely delightful hollow form - for a long time I have wondered how those spirals are achieved. Now I know, and they are even more impressive as they are hand carved (essentially).
