Hollow Vessels and Vases
A hollow vessel is actually difficult to make. The outside of the vessel is turned and finished and then various tools are used to hollow out the inside. If the vessel is straight walled, the hollowing process is rather straight forward. On the other hand, if the vessel has a shoulder, then the hollowing process is rather complicated. Furthermore, the thickness of the wood must be uniform which adds to the difficulty in making a hollow vessel.

My First Hollow Vessel
This is my first hollow vessel which I turned from some hurricane birch. This particular piece of wood was a little darker then birch is normally and I liked the figure of the grain.
