This is my first attempt at one of these, really quite fun. The wood I believe is spalted maple or spalted baywood (ebay) it measures 3-3/4 tall & 11" in diameter. The finish so far is a seal coat & Tung oil. Please enjoy.

Can't believe it's your first, it looks fantastic. Awesome shape and gorgeous wood. Impressive work!

Really nice piece, Bill. I've played with some similar shapes but nothing nearly that wide. That had to be pretty taxing. Did you have to use a long bent tool or could you get enough angle through the hole to use a standard hook tool?

Difficulty level aside, it's a beautiful piece. Really tight joints too. Almost looks like a single piece of wood.

I used Glaser Mini QR tools to make it. Almost seamless.:thumbsup:

OK...

from what I know (not much evidently) about the Glaser Mini QR tools is that they are mostly around 7/16-1/2 tools. I thought they were all gouge and scrapers.

Do they include hollowing tools or the tools in that set are good for hollowing?

That is nice looking! If I tried that, I would have a blow out!

Nice looking form did you use inlace to fill the void?

Very pleasing form, and superb craftsmanship (as always) ... it's a delight to look at.
