All of your pieces look great!

What size opening is in your hollow forms?

I really like the tall shapes

Thanks! mark

From 7/8" dia to 1 3/4" dia.

A lot of the openings are in the 1" to 1 1/4" diameter range. The tallest hollow form it 10" and the smallest spherical shape is 3 1/4" diameter.

Dick, Can you advise what type of white wood with brown near the opening is on

the tall hollow form in front and a shorter version in the back?

What part of country are you located?

I live in Peoria, IL. The one in front is hackberry. The one in back is a bit of a mystery. I thought it was crab apple when I first cut it, but it's not dense enough and big growth rings. Feels more like a soft maple, but I've never seen that kind of color in the heartwood. It's redder in the middle than what shows in the big picture. This may not be the one you are asking about in the photo, but it's from the same tree. Both of these are examples of the joy I get from turning. I plan on the coloring position a little, but when I got close to the final form, I see these little spikes of color in both pieces. Just like treasure hunting!

Nice hollow forms... interesting that you can sell them, I can't even give them away at shows!

Dick,

Thanks for the info.

I have seen all types of color and grain on hackberry

Down here in KY it does not have a good reputation except to divide up farmers fields

I like did a cowboy hat with the wood.
