And by press I mean Lathe. This is also testing out my new Sorby hollow master.It was a piece of curly maple that was scrap, and had some spalting and a nice bark inclusion. It is 2.5" high and approx 9" diameter. There is a 3/4 lip on the bowl.
no finish yet, have some natural defects to correct with inlays and some more sanding to get some tool marks out.
