Camphor Hollow Form

Big B, these turnings are absolutely beautiful, wonderful work. Can you tell us how you made the top (handle) for the vessel?

Thanks for posting these B, a joy to view!

Wow, that is spectacular!

John,

For the top/finial I wish I could tell you there was a method to the madness. I was looking for something really different and I started by cutting the outlined shape on my bandsaw. From there I literally spent ten hours carving and sanding until I ended up with what you see. I can't say that it ended up like I had thought it out in my head but it was definitely different or unique. It was a lot of work and took about ten hours for the top/finial alone.  Thanks, Big B

It really worked well, and well worth the time and effort. Often times as you know, what we end up with is better than what we envisioned, I love it, thanks for the information.
