Hollow Forms and Vases
Each piece of wood turned art is a one-of-a-kind original, no two are ever the same! Each is signed by the artist, dated with the year, and the species of wood it was made from (if known) and includes instructions for the care of your piece. Rest easy... know that your art will be wrapped with love and packaged with care. Your vessel, platter, bowl, box or hollow form is sent insured, includes delivery confirmation and will be double boxed. We know that buying a turned piece online is difficult because you only have pictures to go by... Being very tactile, we like to "feel" what the piece is like, hold it and let it speak to us... For this reason we offer a unique guarantee, if you don't absolutely LOVE your piece, we will refund your money (less shipping/insurance) or, you can exchange it for something else instead. We also create "special" items upon request. Please contact us if you would like us to create something especially for you or for someone special as a gift. This includes turning wood from a downed tree into a keepsake!

A woodturned hollow form is a vessel which has been turned on the lathe, with its overall diameter being larger than the mouth of the vessel. The process usually consists of mounting a log section of a tree on the lathe, rounding it into a pleasing shape and then through a small opening in the top of the vessel the form is hollowed out. The result is a thinly turned vessel or hollow form, whose walls are commonly from 1/8" to 3/8" of an inch thin. This is a painstaking process that is time consuming, requires special tools and a fair amount of concentration and skill. In many cases, the tool that is being used to hollow the form is barely smaller than the opening hole of the vessel. Perhaps the most influential person to perfect and promote this art form is honorary lifetime AAW member, David Ellsworth.
