Ash HF

This is a two piece HF from green ash I turned over the weekend. I rough turned the outside with a tenon on each end. Then it was parted, with each piece hollowed and then glued back together. I turned the beads to hide the glue joint and then painted with flat black enamel. The ash was left unfinished. Once it drys I will final sand and finish. It measures 8" X 5"

Great looking piece. I love the contrast of the black againt the white grain.
Does ash move much while drying?
How much warping do you think you will get?

It will move some, but with the pith in the center and even wall thickness it should shrink pretty evenly. Not sure on warp? Thanks, Mark

Very nice Mark. I saw a piece made like this and at the join the guy made a single groove and inserted a rubber 'O' ring. When it was polished up it looked like an ebony inlay. I like what you've done here, the band is in exactly the right proportions for the piece. Lovely.
