Rusted Loops

Well I have been having fun
At the moment I am enjoying my new journey in woodturning
I have always wanted to do some biggish hollow forms.Success at last !!! Well this is the first large form (14 inches high 1/4 wall to allow for carving )I haven't gone out the side through the bottom or taken the roof off.
Normally I have calipers by the dozen that I am continually checking the wall thickness they all lie I am sure
But with my new Kelton lazer and hollowing rig I am finally having some success
I have always thought anyone using these captive rigs were girls but I have to admit my old body sure liked not being kicked and bucked around
This is made from oak ,carved loop patten then highlighted with a poker machine followed by stain and paint effects followed by some highlighting with the airbrush

Very nice Terry I like the shape and the texturing and the coloring beautiful.........that texturing is something that do not have the knack for.Do you do some kind of layout or just go at it free hand.....and what kind of tool are you using for this texture ( a rotary tool, a burning tool, a veining tool)???....... What ever, I really like this one.
The laser attachment is a great thing isn't it. It makes the life of a hollower much less stressful

Beautiful piece Terry! Perfect shape. You sure have an eye for texturing too. Always different and interesting.

Hi Bob I usually mark out with the aid of the index just so I dont end up with a leaning effect as somehow I get out of whack
But the carving with a v chisel is just random

Great form, wonderful coloration and an interesting texture. Reminds me of hammered and rusted iron. Pretty cool effect and will have others wondering if it was wood!

Very nice work!
