Robinia vase

[PhillH]

Woody kindly gave me 2 pieces of Robinia ages ago, this is the second.

Hollowed with my home made tool and I'm quite chuffed with the result, gave a good finish and I got it pretty thin walled as well.

5 inch high x 2 - 3/4 inch dia at top. Sorry for the crap photo.

That's the benefit of ignorance, if I'd known how hard it was before I started, I might not have started

All adds to the learning curve, thanks for giving me the opportunity to try wood that otherwise I probably wouldn't have been able to get.
