Nice, It reminds me a little of a Frisbee.

Christos, Cruel!

Bob, Rolled edges are fun, especially in getting a good finish "off Tool" under the rim. I agree with Eucy whatever being the timber.

A suggestion, the top does not flow well. You have a gentle roll from the rim and then a hard, sharp line into the wall of the bowl. A softer transition to the wall, would IMHO be more pleasing to the eye and touch.

Thanks for the comment. I was aiming for a clear separation between the rolled edge and the rim - rather than a sharp line, would a wider brim be a better approach?

Hi Christos - maybe our recollection of shapes declines with age - I can't see a frizby - couldn't catch one either so that may be the difference
Bob

Bob, like rolling a bead, start in the middle a gently shape the transition. I would use a Spindle gouge with a normal grind or a Bowl gouge with a non aggressive grind.

Nice work there Bob!!!

Is it a bowl ot a platter.

A good question - Ithink it is too deep for a platter, but that is probably a subjective decision. Here is a better image. I guess each can make thier own decision or are there some unwritten rules relating to dimensions which define what is a platter v. bowl v. hollow form, etc?

Actually IMO it is neither a bowl nor platter nor a hollow form but a dish.

But terminology doesn't matter it still looks good, as to your first question re a label epoxied onto the bottom I doubt it would work and wood detract from it. I would remount it in a doughnut chuck and remove the chuck marks instead.

Thanks Peter, I think that is what I will do and then use the Pyrographic tool to sign it.
Bob

I recall there was a discussion about finishing bottoms in the forum. A search might turn it up and give you some ideas.

I agree that cleaning up the chuck marks and signing, is nicer than a label.

I can catch them but never done tried a horizontial to the ground catch. I think you need to be really fit for that type of exercise.

Call it a round wooden pan.

What are the blurry bits on the sides on the inside?

The blurry bits in the original image are Jpeg artifacts as a result of converting the 220MegaByte Photoshop image to a pproximately a 1/2 Mb Jpeg image. See new image posted this morning.
