Default Walnut Hollow Form

Here is a walnut hollow form that I turned last weekend. It is 6 1/4" tall and 4 1/2" in diameter. It was finished with Minwax Antique oil and several coats of Lacquer. Walls are just over a 1/8".

Bernie,

Very impressed, slightly jealous (I can't turn wood like that yet). Thanks for sharing your hard work.

Thanks again for the kind comments. This one except for maybe the maple burl I posted is probably the best I have did. Now if I can find some larger wood blanks I hope to make some big ones.

Very Nice Bernie

Do you have a set of tools like below ?

carbide wood lathe turning chisel woodworking tool

http://item.express.ebay.com/carbide...mdZExpressItem

I have used this type of tool on my metal lathe and they are great.
The neat part of this type of tool the tip ( cutting edge) can be replaced quick and easy and like a metal lathe the cutter to needs to sharp all the time to do a good job.

BJ,

I don't have any tools like that. I do have the Sorby Termite tool that works really good. I have two sizes of cutter for it.

Oneway Manf. makes a hollower called the termite. It's a cool little hollow tool soon to be in my aresenal. To sharpen it, it comes with a stone that fits into the router table and you just sit the cutter on it and sharpen it. Pretty slick!
