Here is a hollow form I recently completed out of redwood. My uncle drives truck for a local sawmill, and a customer had some old growth redwood logs shipped to Michigan to be milled for his house. My uncle got me a few splinters, 60" * 9" * 7".
I turned a hollow form from one end approximately 7" tall and 4.5" diameter. Then I carved the fluting with a rotary carver Piercing some random holes. After turning a piece of this wood into a bowl, I noticed it really faded to a greenish color. So I used some red transtint dye on this piece.
After the form was completed, I added an African Blackwood pedestal and finial. Overall height 14".
Thanks for looking, and as always appreciate any comments or critiques.IMG_8860.jpg
