The stuck drill bit hollow form

Some may remember I posted pictures of a hollow form I was drilling and the forstner bit got stuck deep inside. Happily, I eventually got the bit unstuck and was able to continue. Even more happily, the vessel  was dry enough to finish this week. Here it is, third coat of oil just applied. It will probably get two or three more coats before I'm done.

Keep in mind, the oil is freshly applied so it will lose a little shine. It's about 14" tall and 12" major diameter. I have to tell you I was nervous, nervous while turning off the bottom. Afraid I was going to through. Walnut, what can you say?

    Stunning! Beautiful grain and color.

    Glad you were able to save this. It was well worth the work and pain it caused figuring out how to remove that bit.

    Thanks for "the rest of the story"
