HOLLOWING SYSTEM

  • Steady Rest, Clark Deep Hollowing System, Laser Thickness Guide, Fulcrum Support Tube in action

John Leggett demonstrates the full system in action with a 3 arm Clark Steady Rest on a 20" swing Powermatic lathe.

Video Thickness Guide

Now thickness indication with camera and TV much improves the awareness of where the cutter tip is located inside the wood being hollowed. Turners have said that this if far superior to using a laser guide!

New Segmented Hollowing Bar

This is the new design for out hollowing bar. Now the standard bar is 30" long to allow hollowing to the same 20-30 inch depth but has basically a handle 18" long to extend the bar to allow a portion to attach the laser onto. The laser can now be easily removed or replaced just by taking the extension on and off for a much more convenient deployment of laser or camera thickness guide device. The extension can also be used as a hollowing bar for external use or small hollowing projects. The extension can be used as a handle for general turning! The 30" hollowing bar can be used for smaller projects. You can order a 24" bar with 12" extension for a mini lathe with 12-14 inch swing.

Deep hollowing a large mesquite burl with the Clark Deep Hollowing System and Steady Rest

John Tisdale of Dallas Texas creates unique and large hollow forms from mesquite burls. This is a very challenging task. See him working on perhaps the largest mesquite burl ever hollowed. The 700 pound hunk of gnarly wood has required many special modifications in his shop.
