first deep hollow vases

trying my hand at deep vases...these are the first 2 I have done..left one is complete ..right one is still in the works as u can see ..the lean is because of tenon still on it.
Both are cedar 12" high x31/2 at top tapering to 2" at bottom
Fun but a challenge for a beginner especially with a home made rig..learning an making the right tool and cutter to work with

Looking good! I think you are on the right track. Good luck with the home-made set-up. That's my next project too.

thanks guys for all the nice compliments!
Its been alot of trail and error especially making my own captured system ..just a hint...if u make one use at least 3/4 round stock for the boring bar..1/2" is to light for anything deeper than 4 to 5" chatters alot.
Its been fun learning it..can't say ill ever be expert at it but its fun anyway.
