Hi Mel,


A really nice Wooden Bowl..!

But, it seems highly improbable to me that it was not 'Lathe Turned'.

Or, the labor and Tools to make it without a Lathe, I would expect to
prohibit it being made at all...or, would eventuate in it being made to hav=
e
a different appearance, and proportion, than what we see it to have.

Even trying to work Green Wood without a Lathe, would be extremely tedious,
especially to have a form this deep in relation to it's width, and, to be
smoothed out so.

Can you post more images showing the bottom? And from straight above? And,
showing it from the sides?

The grain appears to be running vertically in the image shown...but, the
resolution of my Monitor is not very good.
