Ken, well done. I love this piece of wood. Looks to me like your curve gets pretty flat there in the bottom 1/3 to 1/2 of the bowl, just before it gets to the foot. In fact, the foot may well be why the curve does seem to flatten out. Just wondering, if this piece could go back on the lathe, what would it look like without the foot? No matter on this one. The flattened curve may even be an optical illusion caused by the camera lens. Happens from time to time. Still, I wonder what you would have with a nice continuous curve flowing into a tiny foot tucked under the bowl? Nice piece either way. 8^)

Hey Rev, You have an eagle eye on you. I can see what you are suggesting, and I believe that would help that piece. It has been sold and is gone, so I'll have to eyeball the next a little curvier. A bit more curve into the bottom would look good on it. Thanks for the good comments on all the pieces.
