This one is fairly small 3 inches tall and 3 x 4 wide
Wood is cherry (from the firewood) the small holes are an included branch that fell out
Very cool I like it, do you have any photos of it on the lathe?

Nope, but I used the Vicmarc VOD set for r=5 with one weight.
I tried a similar one with r=25 and oval was too narrow on the short side and I was force to hollow through an effective hole about 1/2 inch in diameter.
Making sawdust mostly, sometimes I get something else, but that's more accident then design.
Is that the VOD?
I’ve had one for several years and I pretty much had to forget everything I knew about turning to use that thing. I made some interesting bowls with it tho’.
