Hackberry HF

[Barry Stratton]

Finally starting to play with my Monster rig.

Measures 4 1/2" Tall, 5 1/2" wide. Finish is nothing. Sanded thru 800, buffed all 3 wheels. Walls are thin at the top, and thicken towards the bottom.

This is my 4th HF and the first one that I like. Please critique away.

Barry you did a great job on what I feel is a difficult form. I cannot turn a sphere to save my life. They all look like an egg! Nice job...Bill..

[Steve Schlumpf]

Barry - that is a beautiful end-grain hollow form! Love the color of the wood and all that grain! Great job on an exceptionally hard shape! I would be very happy with this one also!

What did you think of your Monster system?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Barry:
Very nice form. I haven't tried one like this yet, but looks to be rather difficult. Really beautiful wood.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Im with you there Bill, I cant even turn a darn bead and get it the way I want much less a sphere. Excellent job Barry!!
