It is about 6" diameter at the top and perhaps 6" tall. I turned it in spindle orientation and hollowed mostly with a hook tool, then finished up with a negative rake scraper. Cut the "J" shaped hole for yarn with a Forstner bit in a hand drill and a saber saw then finished with spray-on Polycrylic brand finish. I am going to TRY to send a seperate brief video of me using the hook tool to make a walnut yarn bowl that is currently in the process of finish application.<br>>><br>>> Please discuss and share your comments with everyone.
