Ken,
You're getting pretty hot with that skew. I assume you hollowed the piece with it as well? Could you go into a little detail on that? I have my way of doing it, but am curious about your technique.
Thanks for the comments everyone :-)
Lee, no way would I hollow with a skew--there's better tools for that.
BTW Ug, this wood came from Jim Cox's yard. You know if it was black or honey locust?
Ug, not sure but I think so. I'll ask Jim sometime.
I think you're right keith, the black L. I've seen from a big tree was yellowish green, or greenish yellow LOL.
Gil, although it's a snug fit, it's fairly easy to pull off--enough people have handled it in the last couple days to make it easier than it was right after I finished the box.
