October 24, 20169 yr comment_80540 I don't quite know what to call this. There is a recurve on the rim where the bowl turns in on itself and is hollowed inside. I'm working on a second one now from the other half of that log. This one has been put away to dry. Report
October 24, 20169 yr comment_80542 Hey Cliff, and all our bowl makers, you guys could make some lovely sounding bowls with your skills, I've seen Cliff make some pretty big bowls, I think it would be fun. The sounding bowls are all different sizes, big one to little ones. Report

I would have to be a Roadie because my musical skills.....Well, lets just say I have none. Cliff, that is a nice bowl you have started. I like the undercut rim and they really take a skilled turner to do them. One false move and it is all over. BTDT. I would like to see it when it is finished. Report

November 8, 20169 yr comment_83341 Nice shape on that, and that's a big undercut. Do you have any special plans for the rim? As far as embellishing it I mean. Going to be nice either way. Steve Report

I have a bunch of elm log pieces and I'm working on my skill level at gouge presentation. The under cut is a thing that I did on my second and third bowl ( the first one blew up on the lathe) It's a theme I'd like to pursue a little longer. Report
November 9, 20169 yr comment_83395 I like it. I don't have the skill level or tools. I'm impressed with your turning Report

November 21, 20169 yr Author comment_84896 The warping that makes these blanks go oval is because of a branch that ran through the log. The blanks stretched like a magical force was out on the ends of the branch pulling the bowl out of shape. Report
November 27, 20169 yr comment_85588 Not sure how I missed this one, Cliff, sorry! Great looking bowls and that top re-curve is super. Looks like your shop made hollowing rig is working as you expected. Report

I got a little carbide round scraper cutter from AZ carbide that I'm going to build into a hunk of 5/8" bar stock and heat and bend so it's a permanent reverse cutter to see how that works out.
