Finished Bowl

Man this is nice Lew, absolutely georgeous! Is the bowl the same thickness all the way through, even the base?

Thanks for the kind words, John. I really appreciate it.

Pretty much the same all over, John. Around the outside edge of the mortise, I made for the chuck,  is a little thicker.

Overall it is about 3/16" thick.

Sweet, very nice, I like the proportions of it, not too thin and not too thick, many bowls I have seen just seem chunky, not yours.

Thanks., John. That is a major criticism I have about my own work. What ever I make always seems so "neanderthal" compared to what I see others make. 

Yep, even in case work, I used to have that problem till I had a long discussion with Bob Kloes about thin lines and mixing up the board thickness's for the entire piece, instead of going with 3/4 all the way through, it really looks nice when you do the sides one thickness, the shelving a tad thinner, and other components varying thicnkess's. it really gives the piece a unique and hand made look when you mix up the dimensions of the lumber used to build case work.
