Bigger one, Ash Lawtonii Freebii.

7 inch dia x 1 1/2 high, friction polish.

This was me just practising trying to pull a consistent curve, not sure if I got there or not. You judge.

Looks pretty good to me, a tip I was given years ago was to use an old necklace, if you hold one end on the edge of the bowl and hold the other end on the opposite side then let it slide through your fingers to the bottom of the bowl it will show you a true curve, I think it is called a catenary curve.:thumbs:
