Sorry, I couln't resist that comment.

I haven't done it, but watched a video where the bloke started it between centres to rough the outer shape and cut a dowel on the bottom for a chuck. and to finish he then put a dummy piece of timber in the chuck then turned the end so that it was round and flat and just pressed the finished bowl up to it with a live center and then turned the dowel off.

I will try to find the video and let you know. There are probably many people out there that can explain it much better than me.

i use a half log and mount it on a screw chuck. turn a rebate on the front of the log for expanding jaws to mount, turn it round and turn teh outside with a tennon, turn it back round and compleat the inide.

This isn't the video that I originally saw but shows the point.

Here's one way for consideration, although somewhat specialised: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f8/viburnum-bowl-75122

Also, the usual term for including the bark is "natural edge." Try Google [woodturning "natural edge" bowl]; global Google, not local to WWF. Whenever including the bark, it helps to dribble some CA on the bark and cambium (layer just under the bark) occasionally for reinforcement.

I usually do the first turning between centres with the top toward the headstock, turn the outside and a tenon or mortise. (Almost the same as Carl/weisyboy). Then mount in a chuck to do the inside. With NE's, the top can't be used in Cole jaws or Longworth or just about anything else. So a jam chuck is probably best to finish the bottom, with tailstock assist, leaving a tiny nubbin to be pared off with a chisel or Dremel.

Video loads too slow via dialup, so I can't compare with the above.

Try it, Toni. You'll like it.

I can't remember if you had a drill press Toni but this is another option if you do. Quickest and easiest method I've tried
1. drill recess to suit your jaws with a forstner bit.
2. mount on chuck
3. and turn outside with tenon
4. reverse piece by mounting on the tenon to hollow bowl.

That's the term that I was looking for

Either way works, Toni. It all depends on the shape of the log in the first place.

(Just thought I'd throw some confusion back in the mix... )

[lubbing5cherubs]

you would LOL no seriously thanks skew much apprecaited as usual..

[Sawdust Maker]
