I recently completed a blog that detailed how I turned this piece from start to finish – you can find the blog here:
http://lumberjocks.com/jeffthewoodwacker/blog/11277. This is a walnut hollow form that is almost 10 inches in diameter and 9 inches tall. To give this a different look it is turned from side grain. What was the bark side is the top and the heartwood is the base. The wall thickness is 3/8” thick. I applied several coats of clear gloss wipe on poly as finish.

jeffthewoodwacker,
Wonderfull job. I really enjoyed the blog that went with it as well. Could we see a picture of the laser mounted on the tool you used in the blog area maybe? Have you already polished it with the Beal system? Congratulations on a most beautiful turning!
Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis
