Looks really nice and tastefully done too. Great work on how small it is too.

Thanks, everyone. I have tried several things for hollowing, but the fastest seems to be a round nosed scraper followed by a few passes with the round finishing cutter from my Sorby Hollowmaster. I mount the cutter on a different tool. I HATE the Hollowmaster.
