first successful hollow form

[Glenn McCullough]

This is my first successful holow form from walnut. My frst was successful until I parted it, leaving a hole in the bottom. This one is one piece(photos to prove it are available upon request). It is 4.75" tall and 5.75" wide and has a danish oil finish.

Glenn,
That is a nice piece... really like the shape and form.

Sympathize with the bottom... I make lots of very fancy funnels myself.. good redesign opportunity.. make the bottom nice and flat, glue another piece on and tell everyone that's your original plan..:biggrin::biggrin:

Nice form. In the day of everyone wanting to go super thin, this piece/shape really looks good the way it's presented. Tough luck on the funnel, happens to everyone. Just difficult to gauge inside to outside dimensions while chucked up. Like Chuck said, add a piece to the bottom and add a foot/pedestal and claim it was a designed characteristic.

Good looking! You could plug the bottom with a contrasting color wood and tell all you planed it that way.

Really now Marc, you wouldnt want to deny me the learning opportunity that everyone else gets to endure, now would you?

Nice going Glen! Feel free to consult me, I have a whole list of mistakes you can avoid making!!!
