black walnut vessel

Tall black walnut vessel, 33 in. tall 31 in deep 9 in dia at top base is 12 in. lapis and turquoise inlay weighs in at 25 lbs. starts out thin, 1/4 in, but cut runs pretty much straight down the inside, some taper.
the background doesn't do this "vase" credit but a beautiful piece of wood that's had a good job done on it and you have obviously nerves of steel to get down there
 
Now THAT'S a hunk of wood! What'd ya sharpen a crow bar to get down in there? lol Kidding aside, it's a beautiful piece!
 
Thank you for your comments, 6 ft long 1-3/4 inch thick round bar drilled to accept McKnaughton 3/4 in hollowing tools on one end the other is drilled to accept the Pro-forme hollowing tools, pro forme's are sweet. They would be better at 3/4 in thick though as they were flexing quit a bit.
