Hi Marty, Why not turn a compound bowl. You can do any size you want
from a flat board.
I set up a site last year showing exactly how to do it. You can find
it here. http://segmenting.biz
I have to agree with the others that 12" deep is much too large but if
thats what she wants it can
be done with a compound bowl.
