This year I have been on a multi-axis spree from ornaments to displays and now to a pair of bowls.

How To?

1. Mark divisions across the equator;
2. Using cup chucks, turn coves at each division;
3. Cut a mortise on each end – the former north and south poles.
4. Cut the sphere into hemispheres.
5. Hollow each side into a bowl, sand and finish.

These bowls are finished with walnut oiland buffed.
