Box Elder Burl Hollow Form

[Shane Whitlock]

Hey I actually turned something other than a pen ... lol

My wife had to work tonight and my daughter went to the fireworks so I was sitting alone being bored and decided its been a while since I have turned a hollow form so out to the shop I went.

I mounted the blank at 9:00 and was taking pics by 10:00. Its not my prettiest HF, I like the form but the opening is a little large, but I guess its not to bad for an hours worth of playing.

Box Elder Burl 6 inches tall. Sanded to 2000 and finished with CA and BLO, White Diamond and carnauba wax

Shane that is beautiful. I really like the wood and your form. I like larger openings so it looks good to me.

Shane.....It looks beautiful from this far north of you! I wished I could turn one of those in an hour! Nicely done Sir!

[Mark Cothren]

Dad-gum, Shane! It takes me at least an hour just to figger out which way to mount a piece....LOL

This is a great HF and a super piece of wood!

[Steve Schlumpf]

Beautiful HF Shane! Love the wood - looks like it is moving in all sorts of directions! I like the shape of your HF and find the opening fits the form well. Very nice work!
