I finished this one up a few months ago, but kept forgetting to get pics of it when I had the photo tent set up. It's sycamore, 9 3/4" wide and 8" tall, dyed with sprayed TransTint in about three colors. The finish is sprayed waterbased lacquer (USL) and I left it unbuffed...kinda liked the satin finish.
I started this blank out thinking I'd core some bowls, so I had it mounted on a faceplate to start. Changed my mind after getting it round, but had to use a large opening to turn out the faceplate screw holes. The biggest disadvantage to doing hollow forms with an opening this big is that you can reach your hand inside, so you gotta sand it, too. I should've gone with a smaller foot, too.
