Hi all,
plum is a wondelful wood, but very problematic with cracks for enlarge pieces as this one.
Height 42cm, completely hollowed.

Jo,  Another wonderful and amazing piece, what a beautifully grained piece of plum..  You have us all wondering how it's done.

Lovely as ever, Jo.

Four mounting positions, one being reverse, and then some hand work to clean up?

Peta - the "spouts" are not added later, it's all turned from one piece of wood.

Hi all,
thanks for your answers and questions. May be the picture below helps you to understand
how to do. It is a photo from a three-arm vase, but in principle the same work.
