Thank you

[@Audie1234]

Very nice

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thanks audie, do you think it was too thin ?

[@Audie1234]

@@RedKiteWoodturning perfect

[@chuckgraf8141]

Wow! This turned out great! I love the shape you decided on. I especially enjoyed you shining the light inside to show how thin the walls are!

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it. It was about as thin as you can go this one. 2mm .. it’s a scary process 😆

[@AllenOxendine]

Nice work

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thanks mate 😉👍🏻

[@mickleblade]

Looks like green turning, is it liable to split as it dries?

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

No it didn’t split. The greenness of a piece of wood is not the deciding factor in it all splitting. Pre existing defects and uneven wall thickness will cause cracks

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very good. Love how the light transmission through the side goes from top to bottom. Would love to know what wood this is.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thanks Doug. The wood is Holly

[@susanwhite6877]

I enjoyed watching you work. What kind of wood is this?

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Thank you. It’s Holly. 👍🏻

[@Freddieboymaya]

I think the wood is either beech or elm, you were lucky not to destroy this lovely piece. Definitely on the edge for a soft wood. But well done anyway.

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

Hey, thanks. this is Holly, quite far from soft it’s one of our densest native species. 😊👍🏻

[@Freddieboymaya]

@@RedKiteWoodturning thanks for correcting me, never used Holly but I will now 🤔

[@combak2712]

This “almost exploded” because you carved the base so thin, right?

[@RedKiteWoodturning]

There was a thinner point towards the bottom. It not a difference of less than 1mm but it shows in the light given that the wall thickness throughout is only 2mm
