Wavy Hollowform

[John Beaver]

6 x 7 Sycamore / Dye
Finished with Lacquer.

My goal here was to make it look like there was a hollowform within a hollowform and you are looking through the wave into the inside piece.

Mission accomplished. You did well.

[Robert McGowen]

Very interesting concept. I like it. The finish looks flawless.

[Chris Studley]

Beautiful, I really love these Wavy creations.

The execution is spot on, Form, finish everything.

Would love to know how you do it... (Magician never tells...:))

[John Keeton]

Very clean!!!! Great work on the wave, of course, but also on the undercut opening! John, you do quality work on your artistry.

[Tony De Masi]

Very cool. Looks like caramel covering chocolate. Yum.

[Roger Chandler]

That is fine craftsmanship/artistry............very nice John!

[Jack Mincey]

Way Cool on this form John. The color contrast is spot on as well as the form.

delightful.

[Russell Eaton]

John that is one of the most incredible hollow forms I have seen posted, if not the most incredible. Your work give others like myself something to strive for. Thanks for showing.

Looking for the big "Like" button - great job again, John!

[Norm Zax]

perfect execution!

[Greg Ketell]

You definitely accomplished your goal. Looks awesome!

[David E Keller]

Great job! Part of me want to see the inner vessel with a little upturn at the opening so it would be a bit more conspicuous, but it's an absolutely fantastic piece as it stands!

[John Beaver]

Thanks for all the comments.

David K. I like your suggestion. It does read better in person then on the photograph, but I think I will try your idea on the next one.

[Ian James Webster]

I really love the wavy form and am intrieged as to how you acomplished it. Do you know of any tutorials on the subject?
Thank you for sharing.

WOW, I love it. Any info on the wall thickness? Also as with Chris's question, are you up to divulging your secret methods?

[David DeCristoforo]

Fascinating and very neatly done. Questions abound as to "how", but however it's done, it is a beautiful piece of work.

[John Beaver]

Do you know of any tutorials on the subject?
Thank you for sharing.

At this point I am sharing some of the technique through club demos, but I don't have any write-ups or videos on it yet.

James C: because of the recessed wave and wanting the inner piece to match the outer piece the walls are left fairly thick. I try to double the depth of the wave which is about 1/4" deep, so the final wall thickness is closer to 1/2". I've never actually measured one, I just go by feel.

[Jon Nuckles]

Amazing stuff, as usual. Way to go!

[Baxter Smith]

Very cool John!

[BILL DONAHUE]

Amazing! Not only beautiful but interesting in that it makes one try to figure out how it was done. Very impressive!

[Kathy Marshall]

Beautiful! and the finish looks flawless!

[Scott Hackler]

Really nice work John. I love the illusion you achieved and your finish is, as always, top notch.

[Bill Wyko]

Absolutely georgous. Yet another way to take turning to another level. Really an inspiration.

[Steve Schlumpf]

John... my apologies... haven't been feeling 100% the last few days - so have missed a few threads.

This is pretty cool - as a concept and as a final turning. I do like the color contrast and if I had turned this, I would have made the lip/collar area a lot smaller because the important feature is inside! Nice work - real nice! Thanks for sharing!

[Faust M. Ruggiero]

John,
Your signature style is always a treat. Beautiful hollowform.
