Ed, your vessels always exhibit the highest standards of woodturning! I am sure they inspire many to push their skills. Well done!

Hi Robert. I mainly use Kelton hollowers. But I use homemade tools designed for hard to reach areas that the Keltons won't reach. These were done with 5/16", 1/2" and 5/8" tools freehand. Thank you for your comments.
Be well.

Thanks, I've been working with homemade tools as well for forms up to 8" diameter. I'm considering a commercially made alternative, I'll look at the Kelton offerings.
