Finished. My homemade jam chuck worked better than expected as long as I kept the tail-stock engaged, so I was able to get the foot down to where I wanted it. I'm just happy I didn't mess up my 1st one. The little cracks are probably from drying too fast in the food dehydrator-live and learn. And I won't lie: I roughed out the inside of this one with the round carbide tool until I get more skilled with that bowl gouge. In any case, I learned a lot that I will apply to future bowls. This one will probably land on my desk for mints or change.

Santa Claus aka my sons are getting me a Longworth chuck for Christmas so that I can flip 'em around and finish off the bottom more securely. Thanks for the encouragement!
