Default Best Way To Remove Bowl????

Hi,
There are a lot of different approaches to removing glue blocks from
the bottoms of bowls.
personally i use hot melt glue when using a glue block but i have also
tried out using different wood glues too. i suggest that you part on
the glue line at a fairly low speed down to a tennon of around 1 1/2"
inches ( depending on how large the bowl is), removing a slight bit of
the bottom of the bowl, and then cut through the rest of it wit a thin
bladed saw( hacksaw or similar) and then sand using a circular sanding
disc on your lathe or hand sand it, and finish it using whatever oil
or finish you have on the rest of the bowl.

Hope this made sense.
