I have benn trying to upgrade the poor lowly "bowl from a board" concept and make it more interesting to turners. On this one i cut thru in 12 places and I think that helps give this humble form a bit of pizzaz! black Limba 7+diam & 11 h If you are over at Youtube I just uploaded my first...

I have been hard pressed to get a decent picture of these.Hopefully this does them a tad of justice. I have been trying to upgrade the humble "vessel from a board" and give it new interest. maybe it's a losing cause, maybe not. I'll keep at it for awhile longer. I hate giving up. the 2 on...

This is what i've been up to, the first picture is a camphor-rosewood miniature hollowform 1 1/4×15/16" finished with thin superglue, micro meshed then scratch-X then some kind liquid of car wax (dont remember the name) i reallyyy like turning miniatures :D this hollowform is going to be given...

In preparation for Joe's hollowform course, I purchased a set of John Jordan hollowing tools. It seems that I was unable to wait for the course to start, so I had a couple of goes at turning hollow forms on my own. The Black Cherry HF was my first attempt. It is about 4.5" tall. The inside...

As I mentioned in my very first post, I saw these hollowforms with awesome finishes…the LJ responsible told me a bit about "Mohawk Laquer"... actually coached me through an entire hollowform..using his lathe, chisels and even wood! What a guy! Anyway, my last comment was "Guess whats next"...

Through spiral hollowform. I have been on a wild color kick as of late & what fun it is!! Maple 8 inch in diameter .

From the movie : Frankenweenie This didn't look this hard on paper. I dug it out of the trash once, changed plans more than twice, and here it is. I could call this a basswood box, because that is what it is. A woodturning box. Rare earth magnets hold the head on very well, but it's not hard...

First try at doing a hollow form. Trying to get better with hand hollowing.

Black walnut body with sapele legs, lid, and point; I used anodized aluminum rods for the standoffs. This object stands about 12" tall. The body is around 4.5" at the widest point. The finish is gloss lacquer rubbed out with steel wool and then buffed. I'm pretty please with how this hollow...

Stemmed hollowform made of spalted curly sweetgum with brass inlays, a maple collar, and walnut base and finial. I have wanted to make one of these for a while now and finally got around to it. I started turning this piece while testing some equipment after which I left the uncompleted blank in...

My 3rd successful hollowform. This one made from a pecan log that I stole from the smoker pile (the ribs and brisket will be unhappy with that decision, I'm sure). The piece if about six inches high and four inches at its widest point. The mouth is about an inch - the same size as I originally...

This is my latest hollow form. I made a laser guided hollowing tool at my dad's shop a few weeks ago and this is my first hf with that tool. I added a really tall finial just to give it alittle something extra and finished it with 8 coats of Krylon UV clear gloss.

Very hard bowl to hollow. The bowl is only 21/2 inches thick, 91/2 inches wide.Beautiful seasoned cherry, almost like turning spring green wood, except dry. I was given a box of exotic woods from my daughter's fiance's father who also is a wood worker. They were all small pieces 2 inches to 3...

This honey locust (Gleditsia triacanthos) hollowform is about 7 inches tall. I had a few voids around the bark inclusions that I filled with a mixture of purpleheart, walnut, and honey locust shavings and CA glue. The small bits of purpleheart look really nice. (Earlier, I was turning walnut...

Is it red or is it brown, personally I dont care a whole lot, the Australian Malle burls have captured my imagination! This is a really heavy hollowform , I was chicken to cut it too thin because of my inexperience with this kinda burl and how tough it may or may not be, the dollar bill should...

Another Mallee burl… Im gonna guess this one is actually Brown Malle..there just isnt a hint of red anywhere in it. Why is this stuff not more popular and available in the U.S.? This stuff is incredile with the grain patterns and colors…not to mention the spikey (bark?) part on the outside that...

Borneo Rosewood. Clover flower.

Here is a sample of some of my turning. The three vessels were all turned from a single piece of wood and relate in shape and composition, yet each are different and unique. The overall implied message is that since the item is handmade, it can not be mass produced no matter how hard the maker...

I recently posted some pics of a couple tiny bowls I made from some Pine I found on the floor of the woods. This came from the same place, although might be a different tree. This is my Pièce de résistance - it represents the coming together of many different skills and a facility with certain...

I made these hollowforms for Christmas gifts. The first one is butternut, made from a branch off a tree on my mom's place. It's approx. 3 3/4" x 6" tall. The second is from a piece of box elder and is about 4" x 5 1/2" tall. The last one is butternut, from the same branch as the first one, 3...
