This is another hollow form I have been working on. It is turned from orange agate and maple. It is finished with Seal-A-Cell and Briwax. I still have quite a bit to master with the hollow forms, but I’m having fun trying to figure it all out.

As always, wow! I have yet to try hollowing but looking forward to it. You’re giving me inspiration! Thanks!
I’ll have to look into orange agate as well. Very nice color and figure.

Great job Joe!!! Really beautiful work. Glad to see your back up and running, I’ll be posting some center pieces soon out of stone. Ron has ordered one and maybe two, as I’m about to make some out of volga blue granite. It has peacock eyes in it that reflect like foil. I bet your turning a new piece already aren’t you? Keep it up, and have fun.

Rj, orange agate is a relatively new wood imported into America. I believe it is from Peru. It resembles cocobolo, except it is orange and does not have the toxic characteristics.

Never ceased to amaze me Joe with the things you turn. Now a request. I haven’t done much hollow turning and have been wanting to start, maybe you could make a reccommendation on hollow chisels.

Hey DocK, I purchased the Sorby Hollow Master. It has been quite the learning curve for me. My tool of choice is a fingernail bowl gauge that when sharp cuts beautifully. The hollowing tools are a scraping action which is much different. I am starting to get the hang of it. Practice, practice, practice…

Joe, your practice with the hollowing tool is really paying off. Great looking piece! I really like the contrasting woods too. Thanks for posting it. (what are the dimensions of this one?)
