Made another lidded pot for my wife. I love making these.

Those look good Rusty. Are both pieces hollow?

Yes

Beautiful!!  

Nicely done Rusty! Pretty grain, what wood?

Not sure. When my neighbor cuts down a tree he drop off a few logs by my garage.

It looks like Elm

I like it Rusty.  Nicely done.  What do you to hollow that deep?

Thanks Dan. I use a 2 inch Forstner bit to get as much as I can. Then I take the rest out slow with the square carbide turning tool. I have a couple I made from Harbor Freight pry bars. They are long and can reach in very good. They are the two on the left in the tool holder. One is square and one is round.

Very nice!

Good job, Does the grain in top and bottom have a match line?

Really looks nice!

What is the size of it?  Is there a finish on it in this pic?  What is your finishing schedule?

Thanks. The match line is fairly close. It is off just a little from where I had to remove a little from the top to get it to fit into the bottom.

It is 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches tall. I finish with bees wax then put a coat of Shellawax friction polish over that.

Here is a picture of the match up on the grain.

Very nice.  Thanks.  

Here is a better picture of the two tools I was talking about.
