Hollow Form
G'Day Folks,
Heres a hollow form I made last week, New Guinea Rosewood and a piece of scrap for the spout. It was a @#$#@#@# to hollow out as you can see from the shape ! I am very pleased with it but am glad to have completed it ! It's going to my sister as a birthday present.

Lucky girl, I hope you are not going to be 'stingy' and give her the pen as well

I reckon you have done a great job on the bowl section. Great form. But I can't come to terms with the addition/spout to the top. It just doesn't need it. Perhaps a shorter or more squat version would be better. At the moment it is an innecessary distraction from what is otherwise a very elegant piece.

Hollow form
Brendan,
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated ! I primarily went for the longer spout section to give it some height but I see your point.
LOL, I'll just have to make another and perhaps fit a smaller collar in contrasting wood to see what it looks like !
Regards,
Cam

Cam, very nice piece and I agree the spout does detract. I've never done a hollow form yet as I'm still new to turning, just wondering how much did you hollow out? Is the wall the same thickness from top to bottom?

I've got limited number of tools at present, what tool did you use for the hollowing?

I wrote my critque because I saw an impressive hollow form with only one comment. I think people were avoiding saying what I did so they said nothing. So, I am relieved you have taken the criticism well. For your 3rd hf you have done a great job so I look forward to seeing more.

Hi Cam,
At first I tended to agree with others with regards the top being unnecessary(as the form on it's own is a treat) but the more I look at the piece I feel the problem with the look is the transition between the curves of the form and the neck maybe try something with you're next hollow form you have done a great job up to now.
Regards Rod.

Thanks to you all !
Folks,
Thank you all for your feedback and comments, constructive criticism is always welcome, especially when coming from those whose work is known and respected. I've got another piece ready to go -too tired tonight to make a start !-, I'll go for the same-ish shape and let you have a look when I am done!
Regards,
Cam

Cam I look forward to seeing the next one. You are close to me, do you by chance belong to the Gold Coast Woodturners?

Hollow Form
George,
No, I am not a member at Gold Coast, in all honesty I shy away from Clubs in general.
I forgot to answer your query about tools from earlier on, I'll try to take some photos later today and post them for you !

Don't know how I missed this earlier on!
A gorgeous piece of turning!!
I too question the spout, the form is justice unto itself.
