This isn't my first hollow form, but it is certainly the most difficult that I have taken on.
My focus is on skill development, so my only concession to specialty tools on this is the use of a swan neck scraper to reach inside the top shoulder. I understand that there are lots of clever tools that would have made this much easier. I believe that it is better for me to master the skills first rather than rely on tooling that makes it possible to get the results without the judgement that comes from experience.
The dimensions of this piece are 7" diameter by 2.5" height including the foot. The inside finish is still not to my satisfaction, but the walls were getting too thin (less than 1/8") so I decided that it was better to stop with the piece intact.
As always comment and critique are welcomed.
