Love those George, fantastic timber and lovely elegant shapes, inspirational stuff.

Do you tend to hollow out when dry or mainly on wet timber ? If on dry timber what tools do you usually use ? I have the Hamlet Little Brother but find it a bit tedious in use as it tends to get blocked up with shavings very easily, or maybe I need to adjust for bigger clearance gaps but then it cuts too aggressively :roll:

Cheers, Paul

sorry steve i forgot to put the woods on-now sorted.

paul- i always hollow when wet or semi wet mainly due to the size of my work and its easier going to hollow it out.
i use the hamlet big brother too but with a little brother tip on.
clogging can be a pain on some timbers but not many-it can be down to tool presentation aswell as cutter set up- the wet walnut is superb to hollow out on end grain- get some of them crotch's from your friend and enjoy

All great work.
I really like the scalloped edges at the top of some of the forms and will try it when (if!) I remember

Very nice pieces George
I do like the Horse Chestnut pieces,the shape and the two colours really do go well together me thinks.
Did you use a coping saw to shape the tops :?:

no paul i prefer rasps and sanding drums- the piece you saw is the 5th picture from the bottom.

Well, there's nothing to add to what has been said. Very nice work, I wish I had the time to even think about turning any of those. Great work. :wink:
