experimental bowl completed

[cashew]

Here's the completion of that experiment -- I did some more shaping with the Dremel and then applied Danish oil.  For those of you wanting to know how -- I'll get it down better but here's the nutshell version --  cut the bowl as you normally would -- then the top layer gets cut on the same line , but both angled in and out, then sanded down to about 1/2 it's original thickness . It seems to work best on thicker wood (tried on 3/8 baltic and failed miserably).  Once I get it down I'll try to get more detailed than that . I did end up with a crack in this one because when I went to glue the base on it slid sideways but i didn't catch it for about an hour.  I separated it again (cracking it) and re-glued.  I'll be trying it again shortly , only larger.

Edit -- I forgot to add --  the top ring was cut at 40 degrees outward and 30 inward the next was cut at 22 1/2 - the next at 15 - all on 4/4 black limba -- I may revise those angles on the next one
