This is a kind of fun form that I've been playing with in the last two years, my friend always refers to it as a UFO and I can't disagree. I'm not sure if it's something I saw and forgot where or if I made it up, but it's a nice way to make a HF from a half a log. I'm sure someone has done it somewhere though.
This form can somewhat trick the eye because one would expect the interior walls to follow the outer lip and I've always been dissapointed by the way they handle - it's hard to pull weight out of the corners and hard to get a gauge in there- so they've always been heavier than they look. I had a catch on this one and had to widen the aperture and was able to get the walls very thin- it's remarkably light (no scale nearby). Actually if you look into it the walls have the same translucence visible in the rim but with a few wavers. It's about 5x8, Alaskan Birch.
What do you think I should call it if I need to get creative in the event of a possible sale?
