Three english oak hollow forms

[George Watkins]

hello folks here's three oak hollow forms turned cross grain from some green common english oak-these were turned in one session to an even thin wall thickness, in the pic there oiled with lemon oil but eventually they'll be treated in either chestnuts food safe oil or organoil hard burnishing oil

the middle form is 8" wide with a 7/8" hollowing hole-the other two are 6" wide with 5/8" hole's
here's the logs in my inclosure-these 3 forms plus one bowl blank came from the log on the bottom right-it was about 20" wide by about 22" long

Wow, great form and a great job on the difficult hollowing. This is one item on my way too log a list of things to try.

Very nice work on the hollow forms. I have a long way to go before I attempt anything like that.

Quite a bit of work for one session, I like the form and the grain placement, is the English Oak similar the what we refer to as white oak, with large grain structure?
