I started my second basket illusion vase. The first one will be for sale at the 4th of July fair. I needed a second one to enter at a contest at our local art center. I made a table out of 3/8” steel plate with a 1” post for putting the lines on to burn. I think this is going to work a lot better than the old way.

Thinking of making this deep dive Rusty. Question. Why did you turn the beads first then hollow? Does this help reduce chatter when beading? Thanks
It seems to turn the truest for the best beads when the outside has just been shaped and the inside is still solid. That is just my experience.
