Considering this bowl will not be a "practical " bowl.. ie... on a table to keep fruit in ...I think it should best be displayed on a shelf .. so it will be viewed in profile then the foot I feel is ideal as it is ( possibly smaller ) but definately with a foot... IMO ..  It is bordering on a vase in style , and is similar to some of Bert Marsh's pieces

So Guys, what are we seeing in this one. ( third picture )

I think I should change my user name to 'wood spirit'  :)

I have learnt the first rule of woodturning.
The internal diameter should never exceed the external width.
Nor the internal depth, the external height.
Does that make me an expert now ?
