The hollowform is almost finished - only a couple more coats of polyurethane on the bottom of the piece left to go - so here are a few pix. I'm very pleased at how this came out, given that:
(a) it's twice the height and diameter of the hollowforms I've made up to this point;
(b) it's the first one I've made with this captured-bar hollowing rig;
(c) it's a finishing technique I'd not tried before, learned from a member of the turning club I go to;
and (d) it was wood I picked up from the side of the road back in March.
Enough waffle - here are the pix :
