    That has turned out very nicely smiife, you would have to be pleased with that. I'm generally not a big fan of painted turnings but this one works for me. Well done.
    Would have liked a photo of the underneath.

    I have just noticed that photos 5&6 have a smiley face on them
    The bowl is about 300mm x100mm , the rim was done with spirit
    stain and about 10 coats of N.C laquer , then when dry sanded with
    wet and dry to 2000grit , and polished with cut and polish normally used
    on the car ..
    Thanks again for comments and views
    Cheers smiife
