I posted another cherry hf the other day and Mike Cruz asked if I had any before and after pics. I didn't but I turned this one the other day and took some pics along the way. This one has a lot more wood and a lot less air but it gives somewhat of an idea of how one of these pieces with the voids evolves. This is about 7.5 x 7 inches. The wood was turned green from start to finish and was cracking and moving throughout the process. But I kind of like these more rustic turnings so that's the way I do most of mine.

I was trying to take a video that would show how you can see the hollowing tool working inside the form with the voids which for me makes it a lot easier because I don't have a laser. I took a couple short segments and then at the very end just as I was trying to hold the hollower, play the guitar, and turn off the camera all at the same time, I bumped the D-bar and hit the form with the cutter. It knocked a pretty big chunk out of the HF at the opening. So I glued it back in and finished it as best I could. Oh well.
