Hollow Form #13

[Steve Schlumpf]

This one has a nice feather across the top and another in the foot area. It has lots of spalt lines, a couple of knots and a few cracks which I left unfilled just for effect.

Spalted birch, 7 ½” diameter x 4 ½” high, sanded to 400 with 5 coats of wipe on/wipe off Minwax gloss poly. Plan on buffing it once the static problem lessens in my shop.

Thanks for looking!

Steve,

That's a very nice hollow form. Any collector should be proud to have it. You used a nice piece of wood, but it was your turning that made it into something special.

Steve,

That's a fine-looking piece -- you did an excellent job. You're really coming along with your feel for form and balance. Well done!
