I like it, it is a piece that you could only see the colour variation when holding it in sunlight. I did see hints of pink in the second pic, amongst the deeper blue/purple.

I guess the piece needs to be seen first hand to allow the pink to come through. The video does help.

Nicely made piece.

It did seem strange dipping the brush into pink and then seeing it turn blue as I applied it, I thought my eyes were deceiving me when I started

Sorry Derek, while the piece looks good, it's not pink to me... Cheers, Peter

Thank you Smiife and Peter.

This is the paint I used and as I stated it is strange dipping the brush in this colour and the end resulting colour.

My preferred hollowing tool is the Crown Revolution but for this one I used a 3/8" bowl gauge.
