As USUAL, WOW!
Did you turn the inside on center, then turn the outside off center, or the other way around?
I hope you will bring this to Showcase, so I can get an even better look at it.

HI George, Thanks! I turned inside and outside first, leaving about a 1/2" wall thickness. Then, I turned a plug to fit the opening. Back between centers, mounting the plug off center. Turning removed wood from only one side; then by rotating the plug in small increments, I removed wood in stages, leaving only one heavy wall section to carve. I'll bring something similar, this one's gone.

Glad to hear that you will be "forced" to make another one!
Your explanation, as usual is concise and enlightening. You make it sound like I might be able to do it!
