Ok...last thing to post today...
This piece is out of some peach, stands a little over 3" tall and about 2+" wide, and has a 3/8" opening.
Average thickness about 1/8" and finished with AO.
216640
I used a 1/4" positive rake carbide cutter (similar to #1 Hunter) on a homemade tool for most of the coring out. I made about 6 of these tools over the last couple weeks for local turners doing ornaments for a Hospice fundraiser. Can't reach much more than about 2" at best with this particualr tool, but it really gets up under the rim nice and down the curve and leaves a finish that requires no sanding in my opinion. If I'm doing a hollowform that can be felt inside, I either use a burred scraper for final cut or a carbide tool. Once you get the knack of carbide, they are invaluable for blending out ridges from conventional scrapers. AAW journal this month has a good article on them.
This one is already promised...but I can make a limited number if someone is interested.
