Cherry Hollow Form

This long grain HF started out to be pith side down. Then a nice crack in a bifurcation showed up in the then bottom. Change of plans. My proportions are not as good as I would have liked, material had been removed. Subtractive art you know. Still pretty I think. 13x6" Finished with linseed oil and Mahoney's Walnut Oil Wax.
What tool did you use to get out far lateral? What is wall thickness? Pretty piece.
Alan, Thanks. I have the Trent Bosch 3/4" HSS set and also use Robert Sorby Bent Shank Multi-Tip Hollowing Tool. I guess I forgot to provide the size which is 13x6". It's pretty thin. Around the crack where I can see it's 3/16ish. By the feel and balance I'm guessing the bottom half is closer to 1/4. I wish I had taken more time on that now.
