Hello Mike, Nice Bowl I agree the the grain pattern and finish on the inside of the bowl is great I am not quite sure about the form on the outside but as Bryan said the thicker base adds weight an stability.
Did you turn this on your Axminster Lathe?
Regards John
John,
I left the base thick and heavy as fruit bowls in our house are usually piled high lol , and I found deep fruit bowls bruise the fruit easy due to the weight on top.
And AXMINSTER lathe is brilliant (I treat it like a new baby

) gets cleaned down every time I use it , bed gets a wipe with WD 40 after every use , chuck is wrapped up in its oil paper when not in use. So happy with it
How you doing with you're new Toy ?
Mike
