Nice one Gabriel! I’ve been pondering the idea of making some little ones for a while. Great way to utilize little off cuts. Which hollowing tools did you use?

Nice little form, Gabriel. I love Masur Birch but haven't turned any in about 20 years. I always found it difficult to find a source for that stuff.

I use the micro Sorby hollowing tool with the red handle. It works really well for small items like hollow forms and ornaments.

I really love working with this wood. It turns so well. It is difficult though to find a piece. I had two 2x2x12 blanks I purchased last year and those have yielded 5 projects!
