That's rather lovely Mr Chairman Sir! I like the way it stands on its corners, how much sanding did it take to get it standing square? I did see Woody's bowl at his house, and I think I saw his knuckles too!

It didn't take any sanding to get it to sit square David. When I started out I had to make sure the wood was perfectly square and then ensure that the centre of the wood is spot on before mounting on the lathe. Normal sanding applies after being turned except the corners have to be sanded with the bowl stationary if you want to keep your fingers that is !!!!!

Nice one terry. Intriguing, and I'd imagine will lead to a lot of questions from people who see it.
