What's not to like??? Bravo!

[Curt Fuller]

That's gotta be one of the prettiest Hollow Forms I've ever seen. That's such a cool piece of wood I don't know how you dared to start cutting on it. You did it right and the finish is fantastic too.

[Mark Cothren]

Hey Curt, I was a little stumped by this piece before I started. I took a bunch of pics and consulted with Travis before I chucked it up...;) He comes in handy every once in a while...:D

Here's what it looked like originally:

[Skip Spaulding]

Amazing, how do you decide where to start and how do you mount it in the lathe? Hope this doesn't sound foolish but i'm just getting started. Thanks, SKIP
