Ash vase (hollow form?)

This form is 14” tall x 8 1/2” diameter. Hollowed with my Trent Bosch Stabilizer and tools. Sanded to 1200 grit. (At what point is a turning no longer a hollow form?). There’s a very large ash tree, about 28” diameter, in the woods not far from me that was taken down a few years ago by the utility company. The bottom 15 or 20 feet of it is off the ground so it is in remarkably good shape. I’ve gone back to it a few times to bring back turning blanks. A couple of days ago I got four pieces 16 inches long by 12“ x 12“. I feel like I’ve got money in the bank.
