In my brief time in this group it seems there are
far more end grain (platters, bowls and other hollow
vessels) than there are center/"spindle" turners.

Anyone have an educated guess as to the mix in the
group?

No guess, but some of us even turn between centers for 90% of a bowl. Not
sure whether that indicates a spindle turning or just a cowardly turner.
