Poplar HF

[Steve Trauthwein]

Lots of holes and cracks in this one. Not as thin as I would llike it but I am still exploring the hollow form techniques

[Patrick Taylor]

What great figure! I like the form too, and the grooves near the rim.

I'm expecting my monster hollowing set any day now, so I'm excited to try my first HF's. :D

Steve...nice form...nice wood! Bingo! It's a winner!

[Mark Pruitt]

Good job Steve! I wasn't too sure about the rings around the opening at first; I probably would have omitted them. But they're growing on me.

BTW how big is this piece?

I don't see a lot of poplar displayed on this forum and it's always good to see someone spinning it. Around here there's more poplar than grass. I have a pile sitting out back, buried beneath shavings, that I'm hoping will spalt.

Don't let it sit too awfully long Mark......or it will turn punky on ya. DAMHIKT!!!! :rolleyes:

Very nice HF.!!! I'm a fan of poplar any way and I like this one too. :D

Mark,

The piece is 3 1/2 x 6 1/2. I meant to put that in, still working on getting a good picture without hot spots. This one does not show the finish well and seems a little out of focus to me. Another day, another try.

Regards, Steve

Very nice, I like the v grooves around the opening.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Great HF. I really like the form. The lines kind of set it off. Keep'em coming.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice looking hollow form Steve! Beautiful wood and finish!

[Jeff Moffett]

Very nice, Steve! My first set of hollowing tools are on order right now, so I may have to come take a lesson from you. ;)

[Keith Burns]
