First attempt at hollowing....

[Frederick]

Derek gifted me an Elm blank which I am trying to turn into a potpourri bowl. Not finished yer as I have had to secure some cracks and waiting for the adhesive to cure. But this is what it looks like at the moment.






I think it Elm.....has a great figure.

Cheers

Looking good so far [MENTION=1856]Frederick[/MENTION]. Not Elm as I do not have any that small. I think you will find it is either Holly or Field maple

That's taking a nice shape, Frederick.

Nice work Frederick, it will look wonderful when finished.

Thanks Derek. Whatever that wood is, it turns and sands beautifully. Takes a finish as well.

 

[Frederick]

Finished item. I am not too upset with this one. Thanks to Derek for the wood.







Time to do another one......


Cheers

That's none too shabby, love the shape of that, beautiful piece of timber too!!

Very nice shape and finish Frederick. The only thing I personally would do different is the recess for the insert make it smaller so as not to see the wood through the pattern, but that is only me.
