Two matching hollow vessels.

It's been a while since I've turned anything of note as I've been working on a built in storage unit (posted under the flatwork section of this site).

I won two nice pieces of maple burl in my guild's raffle a few months ago, which I used to turn a matching pair of hollow vessels.

The first is solid, and I actually left a couple of inches in the base to make in nice and heavy to support an ichibana arrangment my wife will make.

The second has a nice pair of voids, so I turned this one thinner: tapered from 1/8" at the top to 1/4" at the base, which will help with stability once an arrangement is used with it.

Thanks for looking,

Thank guys! Yes, the void does look like a man eating a timbit! :)

The sizes are roughly 4" x 7" tall, and the finish for both are a couple of coats of Tung Oil, followed by the Bealle buffing system.
