This was a request from a colleague and had to be a very specific shape and size.

Delivered it today and he was thrilled to bits, therefore so was I :funny:

8 inch dia, hollowed to 1 and 7/8, 2 1/4 high overall. Friction polished.

First time with a 1 inch round scraper which I have to say made doing the base a bloody sight easier, wish I'd bought one a while ago now.

Well done Phill looks good mate and a happy customer to boot
As far as scrappers are concerned I have 3 1/2", 3/4" and 1" and it is always best to use the largest one that will fit the job 1/2" small goblets and the likes 3/4" for 4" to 6" bowls 1" for larger bowls

Nice one Phill, I have some of that in pen blanks, but not in that size. It looks like a nice finish:thumbs:
