Jon,

That is beautiful. I, too, would like to know the tools you used.

Thanks everyone... I am excited about this piece.

Tools: Rikon Mini Lathe, Nova Chuck, Monster Straight Tool, Sorby Master Hollow Tool, Harbor Freight 1inch skew that I put on a Lancer grind (outside in for Hollowing). And because this is "Spalted" wood I used a 2" sanding pad with my Drill. 60, 80, 120, 180, 220 & 320 grits.

Finish: 2 coates of Shellac. Two coats of Wipe on Poly (glossy) and then buffed and waxed.
 
Well Done Jon. :thumb: Beautiful wood and the form is great too!

That shape would lend itself to a contrasting collar as well...just a little thought for the many more that I'm sure are on the way now.
 
Another spalted maple piece :doh: they are comming out of the woodworks :D all of you turners are really impressing this rookie flatlander :thumb:
Nice piece Jon!

Tom
