That really is quite something. Where do you start on the piercing? I'm guessing that you leave the neck area intact until the rest of the slots are milled out and cleaned up!

Different, but definitely good, like the form and the piercing.

Really nice. You couldn't walk past that without a second loom.

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?

The carved (removed) sections bring this to life. The effect of the light or background being visible through the piece adds a new perspective to the idea of an otherwise difficult but simple looking turning.

Just one question, where is everyone getting all this Elm?

While I really like the shape etc of this piece the curved carved / pierced slot makes it something special and is impressive in its clean lines. Not easy to get that smooth. Lovely work.
