    the shape is due to the peice having rot in it once i turn away the rot this is basicly the shape that was left i just refinded it a bit.

    i mean it was all my idea.

    i made a chisel to make hollowing easyer once i had finished and new what i needed.

    Nice when Mother Nature does half of the design work for you. Well done, Carl.

    Well done, Carl. Is it hollowed all from the opening, or is it two pieces? Looks right good, either way.
