Nice! Did you hollow it from the top, or bottom?

So out of the ordinary!!! I think it is great.  Am I right in assuming you hollowed from the bottom, or is there a joint where the beads are at the neck??

Either way it is neat.  Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I would like to tell you that I hollowed it from the top guys but in truth there is a join at the middle bead. The hard bit is that you have to line the wood grain back up when your glueing the piece back together. Many thanks for looking Les

Nice job Les.  You did a good job covering up the seam and matching the grain.
