This cherry hollow form had beautiful grain and color that I really began to see during turning. 4.5"H x 8.5"D and turned to less than 1/4" thickness. This gave it a nice pucker factor during turning. Sanded to 600 in and out, danish oil and buffed. Comments and critiques welcome.
Thanks, Angelo. The good thing was I was able to see exactly where my scraper was inside this hollow form!:D

Ken and Scott, I did receive emails of your posts, but don't know why they didn't show up here. Thanks very much for your kind comments!
 
Thanks, Michael. Always glad to hear from you. Happy New Year!
 
This is a Beautiful pc. I love the shape....But how in the world did you keep this pc. from blowing apart on the lathe? It must have been a little nerve racking.
very nice photo too.

PS. Is there any way that I can make this a Photo Of the Day;)
 
Bob,
Thanks very much for your comment. I kept studying this piece as I turned it, and it looked very sound across the bridge. Constant attention to the thickness in that area really paid off!
 
Terry, thank you for your input. I value your opinion.

Ken, Bob and Ed - thank you all for the honor of POD. It turned out pretty well!
