Well I reckon, you might need a band saw to get you wings done. Turn it full size and then cut the wings with a band saw, hand finish the edges, you could do a fair bit of the work with power sanding. Then do the finishing by hand.

Exactly my thoughts, Hughie!!!:):):)

or cut the bowl on BS to shape re glue edges as sacrificial till turned the rest

You could get the same shape as the glass one just by starting with a diamond shaped blank - too easy:2tsup:. If you don't like turning air you could always glue some waste on to the diamond :shrug:

Lots of carving after turning a square platter? :think:

Another wacky idea is to turn an oval hollow vase form shaped like football. (Aussie rules type not soccer.:doh: ) and cut it off the side. Prolly get two. Don't know how to do the base though. Sand a flat bit? Or get one of those oval turning thingies.

Steam bend two corners up?

Sometimes you just gotta say "somethings can only be done in certain materials". :shrug:

TTiT's way is the "traditional" method of doing it.

The way to tell if a piece has been made this way, is to to look down at it from overhead. If the edges form straight lines, then :2tsup:

There's absolutely nothing stopping you from turning a round bowl and then marking/cutting the edge to shape you want with a BS or fretsaw. You can then make the curve such that the edge doesn't form a straight line no matter how it's viewed. It's more difficult to mark out this way, of course, and wastes more wood; you need to start with a larger blank, whereas TTiTs method uses sacrificial waste.
