August 28, 20223 yr comment_297571 That’s fantastic! My favorite bowl shape. Have not been able to get mine totally rounded on the bottom. Report
August 28, 20223 yr Author comment_297592 Thanks Lew. Mine is not perfectly rounded on the bottom. It has a 50 mm tenon that will end up being a flat spot. Report
August 29, 20223 yr comment_297603 Pretty bowl. To get the bottom you leave it a little thick and maybe you could say a bit pointy. Then complete the circle on reversing the bowl. Have done two and just have not gotten back to doing more. Practice with smaller pieces gives you a chance to get it and even then what works in our eyes may not in the experts like Emiliano. Think the second was the first try as does not have the proper flow of curve. Rusty you are doing good just keep it up and don't stop experimenting. Report
