Here is a hollow form I made yesterday. It is apple and is 6.5" x 3.5",
The turning gods were watching over me, I guess because I got the bowl blank from the widow of a man in our local turning club who passed away recently. She had a sale of his turning equipment for the club and this was a freebee for having purchased his radial arm saw and thickness planer.

Great work !

Hollows are the first thing on my "learning" list. Is that much harder than making normal bowls?
I know there are several diferent tool systems with repaclable knives at the end. Is there some universal tool I could get to try hollowing ?

Thanks for answer in advance !

DW 788 (Big Yellow)

Fantastic workmanship demonstrated there,

The piece can't be called finished until you scroll the top/lid for it.
If you don't have a scroll saw, the one I recommend is the DW788 :wink:
It's fairly priced:wink::wink::wink: and it will last you a lifetime.
Check Ebay for a listing, I picked mine up for $205.00 gently used. I couldn't ask for a better saw. But if you try and go cheap, you "WILL" get cheap. I've been a scroller for 16 years, and trust me when I say this is a very reliable tool.


Good luck on whatever saw you get. This is my recommendation only.
