3rd Hollow form using Trent's system

This one is a 9-1/2" spalted sweet gum hollow form. I am a rookie at these, but you know it is so much fun doing something new. I love my new 3/4" stabilizer and visualizer system I got from Trent. So much easier to use than my old monster system. Of course I only made two hollow forms using it so I guess this is my 5th. I was saving my monster system for the future but didn't really take to it the two times I used it because of the vibration and chatter and it was a 3/4" system also. No comparison at all really Trent's system is better built and a great deal more stable.Anyway thanks for all the help from you guys who gave me great advice on the forum. This piece was shot right after sealing it so it is wet and without a final finish.

Never had a piece of Sweet Gum to work with, but what you've done is pretty neat. Shape is perfect, finish looks great and it seems to please you; what else do we need?

I'd be interested in a link to whom ever you got your system from. I too have a monster that does a poor job at best. I'll be going to the Raleigh symposium and suspect Carter will be there at the least. So I'd like to see the one you have.

Thanks,
Jerry

@Jerry Mask I must emphasize that Trent's visualizer is incredible and it works exactly as easy as the short video shows. Go to his web. site and watch it. I bought the stabilizer also. His tools are great also, but it is possible to use a few of the monster tools with his system I was told, I haven't tried that yet.
