This project combines face grain and spindle turning, and creates an attractive piece of furniture. While this is a simple project, it is a bit more advanced than turning a bowl. This piece is intended as a plant stand, but could even be scaled up to make a small table.

To get a smooth finish on the inside of a hollow form, a round scraper does the job well, but you need to keep the round scraper round in order to get a smooth cut. Hand grinding the round scraper on the platform is less than ideal. The scraper gets hot and it is hard to hold and goes out of round.
