G'day
Here's one that I roughed out a couple of years ago and just got round to finishing it off.
It's 238mm high x 212mm diam. and the walls about 8-10 mm thick. The finish is DO.
The void in the side made this an adventurous project but at least I didn't have to keep stopping to blow the shavings out , also I was able to see the ghost of the hollowing tip through hole while turning for most of it .
I think you will agree that this a pretty speccy bit of wood .
