Pierced nuttiness

Pierced nuttiness

This black cherry bowl is approx. 9" in diameter and was turned to about 3/32". It was then pierced to the point that it became spring-like when compressed. Sorry for the crummy picture, I hadn't gotten a decent camera at this point.
Hey Squirrel, Thanks for the rating :) and to answer your question, I have a friend who's a dentist, and he gives me his straight cutter bits after they've been retired (and cleaned). These are like tiny (1/16") straight flute router bits, and they fit in my Dremel tool. I use the flex shaft on the Dremel, but there's still a bunch of time in the piercing. Thanks for your interest. I hope to post some more photos soon.
