Lie the shape on this a lot. Getting that change in the curve without it looking too sharp is no mean achievement. Someone been influencing you there George LOL?

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 ?

Yes I think you have it there George, the secret to a sucessful hollow form is the internal diameter should always be smaller than the external diameter. :P :P :P
