Did this yesterday from a piece of Cherry which Doug kindly donated to the wood store :up:

Hollowed with the RS multi tip, fabulous for getting square corners.

Its 3.5 inch dia x 4 inch high, friction polish. Left a bit of the bark showing as it looked nice.

Looked lovely sat on the shelf last night, went to pick it up to photo just now and Oh Dear.

That's a real shame... To make you feel better I made a religious bowl.... Out of a lovely spalled blank.

That's not ideal Phill, I'd ask for a refund on that shoddy timber :mooney2:

Sorry to see its split, I'm surprised as any Cherry I have would be very dry, even the woodworm don't bother with it :nooidea:

Never mind Phil, get back on the horse and try again. A very good attempt though. BOIL IT.
