Honey Locust and Ebony hollow form

Ben

>Hi everyone,

This is my first picture upload. I�ve been bowl turning for about a year and a half now. I can�t tell you how valuable this website has been. I�ve been a hobby furniture maker for the last 15 years and love working with wood but lately all I want to do is make things round. I bought the scorpion hollowing system from info I read here and I really like it. Here is my first hollow form. I had it almost complete when I got a catch and broke open the mouth of the bowl, I filled it with a piece of ebony. The vessel is Honey Locust and had a small burl on it. It is 7x5x1/4 thick. I got a digital camera from Mrs. Claus and have been taking pictures of the work I�ve done over the last year. I learned how to setup and take pictures of my work on this website. I have never seen woodworkers more willing to share knowledge as woodturners. I join my local woodturning club and have never met a more likeable group of men and women. All comments are welcome.

Best Wishes,

Ben

I always find it a curiosity

>to think about why some particular feature catches my eye first. In this case, I particularly liked the deep ebony "funnel". It sets this piece apart. You also used the locust grain to very good effect. If you make to sell, you should do well with this one.

Cheers, Garrett
