Because of it’s shape I call this a ‘Squat Pot’. The base is made of Birch and the ‘lip’, or spout, is made of Walnut. It measures 7.5″ in diameter and without the ‘lip’ is only 1.5″ tall. Total height is 2.5″.
The entry hole was opened to 1 5/8, just enough to allow me to reach almost to the edge with the hollowing tool. The Walnut ‘lip’ was turned separatly and then later glued on, reducing the entrance hole to about 7/8 on an inch.
The piece is finished with the EEE Cream and Shellawax combo.
Thanks for looking!

Very nice, but may I ask, what does one put IN a Squat Pot? Possibly a “diddly” or two?

nice finish.. i’ve looked at blanks that thin, without seeing a possible design. you did a lot with a small start.
i looked up “metafisical status”.. think that was meant as a positive comment..
btw,, if you can’t put soup in it, it’s art,,

looks great, but calling it squat just invites all sorts of comments that make people giggle.
It is beautiful!

Nice work Ted… I like it.
I do have a question though; What hollowing tools are you using?

Thanks everyone for commenting!
mmh, what does one put in a ‘squat pot’? Something squatish, of course! Diddlies are fine too. :)
johnpoolesc, thanks for the quote! I love it!
Chris, this one was done with the Sorby midi-hollower.
