A few turnings
Photo1 & 2 Carved Rim Hoop Pine Traanslucent. This piece glows quite nicely with just normal light. I photographed it without shining a light into the piece to accentuate the translucence. The wood has a nice colour/grain pattern in it's own right with the oiling so I thought that I would just go with that in the photo. This piece will get another coat or two of oil, will semi gloss up a bit.
Wood: Hoop Pine
Size: 260mm X 145mm
Photo 3. This is a smaller hoop pine translucent.
Size 1185mm X 130MM
Photo 4. A Blue Gum Burl form.
Size200 mm Diameter X 170 mm High.
All oil finish.
All Comments welcome.

Love the hoop pine - looks like a sea-shell. All the hoop pine I have seen is very bland but that is very nice.
How do you do the final shaping?

The shaping is done with a flush cut off hand saw and sandpaper.
