Was looking good as a hollow form before that!

But, whoever gets that bowl will never know.

My thickness gauge gets a good workout with hollow forms...: ~}

Have done one or two of them myself smiife; rather disappointing when it happens. Been known to happen in 3 or 4 cuts if I loose track of where I'm at. Like Neil said, I give the thickness gauge quite a workout when I am getting close to final thickness.

That's a shame. Design opportunities happen occassionally

Don't tell anyone and they will be none the wiser. End result is what it is all about, the journey can be another story!

Hi Neil , thats true , I would normally just toss it in the firewood pile!
But the colour and grain pattern was really nice , so I thought I would
finish It off......
