From left to right:
figured box elder, ambrosia maple, russian olive, box elder, and oak burl. The oak burl in the back right measures 4" tall, and just under 3" wide.
The "larger" ones in back were done with a trapped hollowing system that our local AAW group designed and fabricated for our annual toolmaking day. Here's a link to the system that we made:

And I used these 3/4" hollowing tools to do the hollowing (with 3/16" cobalt cutters):

The two smaller vessels in front were hollowed with some mini hollowing tools that I prototyped in my garage for our toolmaking day for next spring. The tools are made from 3/8" cold rolled steel, with turned oak handles. They are similar to the sorby mini hollowing tools, with the exception that the cutters I'm using are replaceable. The ends are drilled to fit a square 1/8" cobalt cutter.
