This is a small lidded hollow form turned for the "Show & Tell" evening on 13th February

It is turned from Sycamore with a finial turned from African Blackwood

 The texturing was done using a spoon shaped wire in a pyrography pen. The hollow form was then colured using Jo Sonja's metallic colours (rose gold and silver , blended ). The blackwood finial was finished with two coats of cellulose sanding sealer.

 

 

Been a long time since I turned anything,anyway take a look at my hollow form which was the winning entry in the monthly competion. It was rescued from being a plain turning in Beech with thick walls and a horrible foot.  I remounted it in the chuck, hollowed more of the inside to leave a wall thickness of approx 6mm. After reverse chucking I removed the foot and left a small hollow in the base, it was then burnt completely using a cooking torch, brushed clean before texturing with a dremmel type tool fitted with a piercing bit, I then applied verdigris wax and after buffing applied a gilt bronze paste sparingly. Inside the form was painted in black acrylic. 

Welcome back.
Where have the last three years gone???
Hope to get some more projects listed soon!
