My first hollow form
Today I finished of what has been my first hollow form. What started out to be a bowl with a large rim ended up as this.
Half way through the shaping process, I found that the timber was showing me how IT wanted to be shaped!
I turned the underside first the started to clean up what was supposed to be the inside. Thats when I found the top forming its self.
I decided to work with the shape and this is the finished result.
The timber is Silver Birch, and was rescued from the wood pile of my favourite B&B. As it is the owners birthday the next time we visit, I thought I would do something for her.I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

I use the "Rolly Munro" hollowing tool I have had for the past 6 years and had not used before.
The Silver Birch had much more figuring than I had expected.
I am glad I rescued it now

Nice job for your first hollowing session
And I thought it was just me - I don't feel so bad now about buying things 'just in case I need it one day!'

Now you should have a go at that Qld Maple bowl.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.
