    Myrtle hollow form

    I think if I could only have 1 wood to turn, this would be it. My shop still has a sweet, cinnamony smell. 6 1/2" diameter by 4 1/2" tall, buffed Antique oil finish.




    A shot of the other side with flash, just for fun.

    Great piece Travis. Form and finish are spot on. Glad to see the last pic as I knew there had to be more than one opening

    Travis,
    I continue to be amazed by the work you do. Very nice piece. As someone that is a long way from turning something that someone would actually purchase, I was wondering. Do the holes in the side add to the value of the piece? Does it make it easier to sell as it has a little more individuality? I find them interesting but like the other side as well.

    Beautiful..

    Travis, once again you give something to strive for. Is that crepe myrtle or something else? Thanks.

    That is a fine turning... and the last picture is very impressive, letting us see inside the piece thru the opening and the voids. That inside looks clean and smooth. Very impressive!

    I have to agree - the inside of this piece looks as smooth and finished as the outside.

    How do you do that???

    Nice Piece. I love the wood also. It is just a pleasure to turn.

    Keep'em coming.
