A view of the bowl, showing the inside. It’s not quite as thin as I had hoped, and there’s still a bunch of cleanup to be done (see those gray streaks, and the little divot out of the epoxy closest to the camera), but I think this is the final shape. There are some small cracks on the inside, plus one major crack not seen in this view that may need more patching before I can start finishing.

   This evening, some more shop time. I finished hollowing the bowl, and sanded the inside, but there’s still quite a bit of hand-sanding to be done, since I patched the cracks from the inside as well. But I made a custom shaped scraper and cleaned up the excess glue and fill before I called it a night, plus cut off the tenon on the bottom of the bowl, and began cleaning that up. It’s looking pretty good so far. My big worry is I’ll break it at this point, but I’m hoping that’s a healthy worry.
