Specifically, dealing with hollowing out the bowl's inside. If you van help him, please see his post and provide some input- @Masonsailor has been building doors for a while.

There will be a ribbon across the top and you can take some of these cold, windy, snowy and rainy days to watch a couple of these that you wish to see. http://thehighlandwoodworker.com/the-highland-woodworker-episode-50/
