Power Pro
Compare the Power Pro with machines costing hundreds more. The brushless motor style handpiece not only puts out 10N.CM making it one of the most powerful handpieces out there, but it will go up to 90,000rpms. With 180 watts of power, this machine will glide through your carvings. You will be...powercarvingdepot.com

This rabbit hole only has two entrances, one for bowls and one for hollow forms
! The carving is just to maintain the the appearance of the structure 
Curve continued and foot removed.
Finished with black dye that I sanded off to reveal the grain. Blue dye added with green and yellow dappled in for highlights. Finished with friction polish.

Same.
Doing some serious sanding last evening....!
Forgot to take pictures while on the lathe, but these came off in past couple days. First is segmented piece using aspen, wenge and black dyed veneer. 16 segments per row plus 16 veneer between each segment, total of 17 rows for 527 pieces (bottom is a single piece of wenge). This is 6-3/4” tall x 3-1/8” wide and 3/16” thick.
Second piece is cherry from a tree we took down. I’m playing with this shape, but something’s off - I’ll keep working on it. Piece is 4-7/8” tall x 7-1/4” wide and 3/16” thick.
