In this video I make an amphora inspired hollow form vase out of almond wood. 

I begun by turning my stock between centres and making a tenon for my chuck. 

I then chucked the pieces and turned it’s outer form. With a forstner bit I established my depth. Then using the hook tool, I started hollowing the end grain. 

I filled the cracks with super glue and saw dust. I burned the inside black with a torch. 

I then used my dividing mechanism to divide the piece and draw my designs. I used my wood burner to burn the designs. 

I used a cone block on my chuck and then reversed the piece between centres to clean the bottom. 

I added a coat of sealer and then coloured my designs. Finally I buffed the piece with carnauba wax.

It was a really interesting project, but that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
