G'day
Here's a small hollowform in some pretty rotton cotonyaster . 150mmx100mm wall about 6mm.Finish is DO
Lots of CA glue used on this. I had a lump fly out from the crack when I was sanding it but fortunatly was able to find it in the shavings on the floor and glue it back in . I wrapped it in duct tape while hollowing .
Hope you like it.

DO? Danish Oil?

and i read somewhere here or somewhere else, if it holds water its functional, if it doesn't its art!

Nice work Ted, i've not heard of cotonyaster before.

I should have checked the spelling before posting .Should be cotoneaster . A small tree or bush which grows to about 4m and has bright red or yellow berrys . These are spread by birds and it is clasified a noxious weed .
DO = Danish oil .
