The handle says to me that it is a Jerry Glaser tool. Probably shot filled. The side handle is for hollowing actions.

Hi Peter,
Definitely appears to be a Glaser Hollowing tool. The counter weight stabilizes during hollowing. FWIW it's only the third one I've seen. When a friend who collects Glasers brought his in, he was surprised I had one also. Now there are 3.

The Oland style hollowers are available from several makers and given the handle style, yes its a glaser tool, for the DIY guy they are the easiest to shop make. I probably have 2 or 3 on the rack.
Do you know what the original Øland tools look like?
The reason I ask is a LONG time ago I bought what I think was a complete set of Knud's tools from Lissi some years before she moved back to Denmark. I've never even opened the box. Maybe I should look for someone who can use them but kind of hate to open the box - ir'a almost a bit of history! Might be fun to donate the unopened box to the TAW symposium for the benefit auction next year and to see what they'll go for!
I was fortunate to visit Lissi several times at Brasstown near JCC. So nice - always offered tea and snacks. Some of her bowls were big enough to take a bath in. It was fun to see her shop, lathe, and how she worked. (She cored with a chainsaw.) Every time, she would load up my vehicle with wood until I cried "Uncle." I made a bunch of things and till have a little of the wood. I also took some photos of some of Knud's smaller pieces and duplicated the form the best I could, just for fun.

Essentially it was a piece of HSS attached to a shaft, the actual grind shape would up to the individual. Darryl Feltmate has a video on Youtube demo-ing one he made.Do you know what the original Øland tools look like?

I took a picture of the contents. Apparently these are stainless steel shafts, stainless threaded inserts, and several HSS tool tips and a finishing round.
