This sugar maple hollow form is from a tree that was salvaged after the tornadoes went through Tennessee earlier this year. Vase is almost 14 inches tall and is 10 inches across at its widest point. I sanded it down to 300 grit, wiped on some tung oil, let that dry and then sanded it back up to 600 grit. Put on two more coats of tung oil sanding in between each coat. I have enough wood to make several more of these.

Nice looking hollow form, Jeff. What kind of hollowing tools are you using to get that deep? Thanks for sharing.

Nice, that darker embellishment really gives it an artistic flair.

That’s a very impressive piece. The history of the blank adds to the interest of vessel.

Very elegant! Nice use of the wood. Another wonderful “trash to treasure” piece for the art world.
