Elm Burr Barely There Hollow Form

Elm burr barely there hollow form turned and finished to a 3mm to 6mm thickness throughout the piece. A piece turned in several stages over an 18 month period. First, the shaping of the external profile and formation of the foot before rough turning the interior to twice the final wall thickness. Next, swamping the piece in mineral oil and leaving it to rest and recover for 9 months. Then the second turning with the rim bound in cling-film and gaffer tape to limit the flex of the piece as it span. Finally, sanding to the final finish and a last coat of beeswax and mineral oil food safe wood balm. While the piece is delicate rather than fragile, I am wary of posting this specific piece.
