Chas that is lovely. Did you use gouges to hollow or a forstner bit or similar?

Was just talking to the missus earlier about making a suitable gift for the teaching assistant that has helped my daughter through school for the past 5 years. She finishes this year.
A pot along with a pen and pencil to match would be very apt. Thanks for the germ of an idea.
I do not think therefore I do not am.

cheers

I start off with Forstner bits then finish off in boring mode with home made Carbide tipped tools. (Stiff tool shafts essential for chatter control and decent handle for leverage)

This blank is on the lathe at the moment and hopefully will turn out into a glass lined vase against a recent request if I get a chance in the next couple of days.

I guess I'll be churning out more simple form bits like this Derek in an attempt to clear up the various stashes of wood around the place, can't keep putting off using it just in case it might come in for something more elaborate.
