Whilst there are many steps missed out here are 4 stages in the process of turning an enclosed form, also known as a vase form. This has been turned from London Plane and polished to a high shine using microcrystalline wax.

A spindle blank of London Plane, roughed to the round and showing the tenon for holding in the chuck and the waste. The London Plane blank now held in the chuck and the outside has been shaped to form the vase like shape London Plane case or enclosed form held on a friction plate by bringing up the ring center held in the tailstock to push the form against the friction drive. The picture shows the waste and tendon being turned away to form the foot Final finished piece, a vase or enclosed form turned from London Plane and polished to a nice shine

A little bit of hollowing #ASMR for your pleasure. Using the Crown hollowing tool with a scraper attachment to hollow a piece of freshly cut Sycamore (Acer Pseudoplatanus)
