Thanks all.

achieving the thinner wall first time.........thanks for imagining that might be the case
I'll post a pic of my waste bin as soon as I get a camera with a wide enough lens! I've made a lot of what I like to call Oversize Napkin Rings...... Didn't notice any undue vibration...maybe that's an experience waiting round the corner for me! More interesting and challenging pieces....think I'm doing ok for 10 weeks in, still finding these simple shapes challenging at the moment to be honest so don't hold your breath....might take me another month yet
Plenty of plans and ideas though, and some proper tuition booked for June so you never know.....
David, it's about 4" diameter. finish is cellulose sanding sealer followed by two coats of chestnut 22. Thanks for the tip on the v-grooves.
Must admit I'd like it to have a foot, partly because that's how I planned it but also because I like the lightness that a small foot has the effect of giving a bowl if you know what I mean. Certainly is stable though Graham!
