TALL PINE VESSEL

58.5 inches high hollowed to approx. 5 inches from the base. top is roughly 1/4 thick but as I got deeper it got thicker, baseis probably an inch thick. Some small cracks in it, they were filled using, malachite, lapis, turquoise & brass key filings. Inlay took over 4 hours. Hollowing 2 solid days.

Now that's a serious vessel. Well done. I'd love to see the tools you used to get this job done.

I used McNaughton and Pro-Forme hollowing tools. I have a six foot inch & 3/4 round steel bar they attach to. Pine is NOT a good choice for something like this. The knots were brutal! Worked on the piece as part of a Demo for our turning group.
