Hey Chris...looks like fun. What did you use to get in so deep...some type of home made hollowing tool? Must have had to let it dry for a while?

nice work

Hi everyone, thanks for the comments, yes Stacey that is your pallet that you see way in the back ground, the pallet is slowly making its way to the front of the shop, once it gets there it will take a break (it is hard work to get from one side of the shop to the other) then it will make its way to the truck, then after I get my brake parts from the mainland (shipped via the slow boat) then I can fix the trucks brakes and take your pallet to the pier
Hey Ken yes I made this bowl on the big lathe I posted pictures of a few years ago, I found the post but the pictures are gone so I took some more, I will post them in a seperate post. Aloha to all.
