Here is my first small HF that I finished this weekend. It is Red Gum with a purple heart collar. It is finished with Watco Danish Oil and after it dries for 72 hrs. will get a coat of either lacquer or wipe on poly. It is 6" tall and 3 1/2" across. Critques welcome.

Bernie, I'm not a turner so I don't know what to look for from a technical point of view, but ............ I LIKE IT!
:thumb:
Nice shape and finish from what I can see

Thanks for sharing

Jay
 
Nice shape, nice size, good form, neat wood, like the collar................ what kind of muffins did you have :D

Hey, show us your bottom :eek: ;) :rofl:

Looks good Bernie! :thumb:
 
Another nice one Bernie. I like how the purpleheart compliments the colors of the Red Gum. Nice form too. Me thinks that's a keeper. ;)
 
Nice form. I've never had luck with gum. It just made my tools bouncy so I quit using it. Maybe that was due to dull tools, after all it was when I first started to turn.
 
Thanks I appreciate it. i bought a set of Kelton Hollowers and this is the first time I got to use them since I got them in Sept. Anyway I kinda like making these things.
 
I've been busy, so I'm playing catch-up around here, but that's a nice-looking hollow form, Bernie. Pretty combination of woods, and the form and finish look great.
