You are a brave man. The thought of a skew cut on the outside of a bowl
brings back memories of beginning turning. I still have all my fingers
but I
am not skewing a bowl again.

I went back to view the Richard Raffan video in which he turns a
lidded box. The lid is a curved shape, not unlike the outside of the
small bowls I am making. He seems to do OK with a skew.

What are your thoughts on Raffan's use of the skew?

I have seen the video. He has the wood mounted with the grain parallel to
the lathe axis as in normal spindle turning. Are you end grain hollowing
your bowls?
