Sycamore has some of the nicest grain patterns in it ! Great shape to the bowl as well…to what grit do you normally sand to before applying finish ?

Wow, Joe, this is sweeet! I love the style and the sycamore. Thanks for posting it.

I think that looks really nice. I’ve not ventured into HF’s yet. But I hope to have a good start like you have.

Nice job Joe. Can you include a photo of the hollow master?.

Great job Joe, you’ll get the hang of it. Beautiful piece, you can see what the sorby tool opens up for you.

Thanks for all of the kind remarks. I really appreciate them all.

very nice! how did you finish the sycamore! i am working with sycamore right now and trying to find some different ways to finish it!

teenagewoodworker, this was finished with General Finishes, Seal-A-Cell and then topped with Watco wipe-on poly. I have had good luck dyeing sycamore as well.

Grumpy, here is a link for the Hollow Master.

Joe, you got a fine result for the first time with a hollowing tool.
If I may offer a suggestion, try to drill a hole from your opening with a forstener bit attached to the spindle.
You can pretty much dirve it to the full depth of your vessel and use the hollow tool of your choice to clean away the insde.

Thanks for the tip Bob. I have read that very thing from several sources. Woodcraft was having a 10% off plus an additional 5% early bird special today. One of the items I picked up was a drill chuck for my lathe.

A very nice looking bowl. You will go far with this talent.

Joe, the Hollow Master is very similar to one I have. It’s called the Rolly Munroe hollowing tool. The cutter is a small disc that can be rotated when it looses it’s edge. Mush more user friendly than a standard hollowing chisel.
