Well I was finally able to get back to the lathe... between finals and a trip away I havent been able to turn for what feels like ages, but I'm back! :D:D
I also recently got a small hollowing tool from a club member so I figured I would try it out. First HF I cracked when jamming but this one came out excellent (in that it didnt crack or explode). So: What do you think of my first hf? maple, poly then buffed, 2 1/4 high and the rim at the top is 1 1/4 and the base is 1/2 in. PLEASE give me honest critique(especially about the form), I need it to get better.
