Here's a new turning I did this weekend. It was green wood, don't know the kind since it came out of a pile of logs but is likely ash or maple. I used my new hollower to do the inside and it was so easy. It's about 8" in diameter and 5" high. I finished it with BLO, then dewaxed shellac, then oil-modified, water-based poly. I dyed the inside black. I gave it to my wife to put on her bookshelf at work. She likes the high-gloss finish. I think it turned out pretty good. I had a lot of trouble on the outside with tearout on the endgrain though. I sanded it for a LONG. That was frustrating. Overall though I'm happy with it. I keep turning and keep learning.
