So a while back I saw an emerging bowl, not long after I saw they cut some trees down at the golf club so I asked for a log or two...it was pine and has been in the workshop for maybe 6mths... anyway got round to trying an emerging bowl - bit of trial and error and the jigs took almost as long to make...it's a single turned piece (a quarter of the log - it wasn't big!) and was all done on the lathe....

I don’t do bowls very often (not very good at them) but that is really impressive Paddy.
Bet that was “Interesting” turning that 🫣🫣
HA-HA - you aren't kidding.... doing the internal part of the bowl is way off centre, and rocking could be an understatement... I have no idea how Woody (@TVS ) turns those big bowls!

I'm glad I only have a small lathe, I could be tempted to try that, nah no chance!
Well done mate, it's a really ingenious bowl, you should be well pleased 👍
