First -- that's a pretty darned nice bowl. I like that curve, though there is a barely perceptible hitch in it. From my view, you might make another one just about like it, but get a little more flow to the curve by extending it right out to the rim (making the rim just a tad more horizontal by removing a bit more wood just below the rim, not by "adding" a bit just below that).

I guess I'm saying there are two ways you could go; either less curve, like you have at the rim, or just a bit more curve, like you have just below the rim. The first is the safer, and in my view the duller. I encourage you to sweep that curve out and create a nearly level rim...

Nice bowl, thanks for posting.

>I agree with Brad but that is from another turners view. Any NORMAL person would not see it. Nice finish and as for the wood that's the norm.

SIGN IT AND DATE IT!

Good turning and be safe
