It was a day of firsts. My first hollow form and the first finished project coming off my new lathe!
Apple, 7"x5"
Turned green and hoping it doesn't split. I don't own any proper hollowing tools although I do have one of those Ci1 easy rougher clones which is what I used. It was impossible to get over into the shoulder of the form without a goose neck shaft so it's kind of thick there and it's pretty thick on the bottom too (I was scared) and well.... it's kind of thick walled everywhere :o.

C/C welcome.
I'm still awed by how quiet the new lathe is...
