First Hollow Form made with the home made articulated arm hollowing system that I posted a photo of a week or two ago. Made a laser system for it using the Digi-key components. Made from a scrap from a pallet that I think is Mahogany. Around 5" (12 cm) tall. Still struggling to get a decent finish on it, using EM6000 waterborne lacquer over Shellac.
Piercing is with my experiment in cheap piercing rig ($35 set up new from eBay 300,000RPM air tool). Still like my NSK Presto better, but this might be a decent option for folks who want to give piercing a try without spending a lot of money
