Just to see if I could do it category - hollow form

[Robert McGowen]

First time I actually had a large enough piece of wood to try a hollow form. I think I concentrated mostly on the hollowing and not much on the shape. I used a variety of tools and did it without a rig, just a tool rest and mostly scrapers that I had on hand. It helped to do it by thinking of it as a one-piece segmented form! :D

Mesquite, 7.5" wide by 5" tall. Danish oil finish, to be buffed next week.
