Hollow form turned from a piece of sugar maple. Piece is 8 inches high, 6 inches across at the widest point and the hollow form opening is 1/2” in diameter. Finish is 5 coats of high gloss Waterlox that was hand rubbed in. I let each coat dry overnight, sanding in between coats with 1500 grit paper. I made a couple of 3/8” diameter tools to enable me to turn this piece with a very narrow opening. Comments and critiques are always welcome.

Absolutely beautiful. Looks like a Chinese ceramic piece. And I know. I work at an art museum. I congratulate you on this outstanding shape.

To see some of the tools that I have made you can to to a project which I posted here:
http://lumberjocks.com/projects/12754
Next tool I make I will go a step by step blog series. None of the tools that I make are rocket science and most are made with readily available materials and equipment. I use cold rolled steel rods and drill rod that I purchase from Enco tools, cutters I purchase from either Grizzly, Hunter tools or Easy Wood Tools.
