>Here is the first hollowform turned with the tools I posted last week. It was turned face-grain and is 4-1/4" tall and 4-1/2" at the widest point. The opening is 2". I left this fairly thick at just under 1/2". I did not want to be too aggresive with this first piece.

The bead rim is flat on top and 3/8" wide. I burned the bottom edge of the bead with wire.

Any advice on where to go next or what to try differently is always appreciated and treasured more than you know.

>Looks really good Chuck. I like the rim at the top. I haven't seen many like that, I think it really suits it.

>Jorge,

Thank you. I used an angled hollowing tool. In this photo, it is the one on the right.

I made these tools. There is a post further down where I describe them so I won't take up more space here.

Take care,

Chuck in Memphis, TN.
