Sorry,
Somehow I missed this posting which is a shame as the eggs are very well made and the grain matching is excellent even for the width of the cut you made to separate the two halves.
Thank you for posting the video.

Thank you.
I think I could make the separation cut a little finer but i'm happy with it.
Its actually up for an award at the moment. So i have fingers crossed.

Very nicely done with a great looking finish. I'll go and have a look at the video now.....

A very nice project but I would be extremely careful hollowing out with a skew chisel, it really is not the tool to use for that.

I have some nice news.
The Easter egg won a nice little prize

Re using the skew i had to re watch the video because I couldn't remember using it as a bowl gouge.
I intended to use it mainly to create the internal lip on the box and admittedly I got a little over zelouse and removed a little more material than necessary before going back to the european grind bowl gouge which did all the heavy lifting + light lifting.
An oversight on my part. I hope it didn't cause too much discomfort. (I know I find myself wincing when I see tools being used in a less than ideal manner and I feel bad for this)
