Some nice wood from a couple of years ago. I roughed it out and it has been sitting on the rack covered in dust all this time. Glad I got around to finishing it - I had forgotten about the nice figure/color in this piece.

Beautiful work Mark! Great looking wood! Really like how you hollowed it out through a natural opening! Adds a lot to the piece!

Real nice photo work as well! Thanks for sharing!

mark - really nice form. love that natural look on the opening - took skill to not add any diameter to that!

Gotta agree with all the above Mark. Hollowing through that natural openning sure made for a unique pice. Fantastic grain flow and fits you form so well...Bill..

Well that would have been a beauty of a hollow form no matter how you did the opening. But that natural edge just knocks it out of the park!

Agreed on the natural edge; very impressive piece to say it mildly. I'm going to have to try this sometime soon. You've inspired me. Thanks for sharing, really!!
