Good evening all!
I turned my first bowl to have a recess today (3rd bowl ever). Quilted Red Gum approx 135mm diameter x 40mm deep.
Any comments or advice on the form or anything else would be appreciated. Personally I think the recess is too wide for this bowl, and it's certainly looking too deep. Is there a general rule on how deep a dovetail recess usually needs to be for a decent hold? I have a Nova G3 chuck with the standard 50mm jaws.
