This hollow form is the sixth 4-Ways project. You see shapes developed then abandoned or refined. I hollow enclosed forms using traditional gouges and scrapers. The set of beads turned using a detail gouge are later removed when they don’t look so good. You see the base refined between centres, then with that done I decide to ebonise the piece. As always in my videos, you see all the turning in real time.

4-WAYS comprises Sam Angelo, Mike Peace, Richard Raffan, and Tomislav Tomašić who suggested that having a few turners publish their approach to one project on YouTube at the same time should be interesting. 4-WAYS publish after noon on the first of each month, US time, which is evening in Europe. For Australasians it’ll be the 2nd. morning of each month. Each video has links to the others.
