Rosewood?/Cocobolo? Hollow Form

[George Guadiane]

It's a little thicker on the bottom than I might have liked, but...
The wood came from the estate of Richard Pagano (Beaver Pond Studio).
Just a small piece, but the wood turns nicely. Takes a really smooth finish without effort.

Wood: ?
Finish: sanded to 2000 and buffed a bit
Diameter: 3 3/8 inches
Height: 2 inches

Very nice HF George.

Really pretty George! If you don't mind my asking, what do you use to hollow something that small?

[John Shuk]

Very nice. It really does look nicely polished. Looks like cocobolo which is a rosewood.

[Bernie Weishapl]

The HF is a beauty George. I really like the form and finish. Well done.

Very nice looking hollow form George! Beautiful rich color and a great looking finish! Good work!

[Neal Addy]

Nice! I'd say Cocobolo. Whatever it is it's beautiful wood.

[Chris Barton]

I would go with cocobolo as well, and it's a great piece!

[Jim Becker]

Cocobolo is a member of the rosewood family...so the answer is "maybe" and "yes"... :D

Very nice work.

Very nice George...you did that piece of wood justice. I'm sure that's going to be a keeper for you.

[Brett Baldwin]

That's a great looking piece.

Thanks Mike,
I use the mini Rolly Munro hollower... I have them both, but prefer the smaller one for roughing, and for very small projects like this.

Thank you everyone...
Jason,
I had the piece out at a show today, didn't sell but I'm hoping (I have a bigger piece like this, somewhere).
