Thankfully it was a 3/8 and 1/2 in the same lot. I'll sell the 1/2" if it seems too big.

I wouldn't if I was you it wont be to big and you can take heavier cuts also when one gets blunt you just change over to the other one start a large bowl with the 1/2" then change down to the 3/8" for the last few cuts I have all 3 sizes and constantly use them all but then I do turn bowls most of the time
