Hi Don

Saw this picture last year I think on a Australian web site, I'll see if
I can find it, what I recall of it is that they (wood turners group)
made the bowl like a segmented bowl, used a farm tractor to drive the
bowl with the rear wheel hub, there was also a picture of the turners
group with the finished bowl.

have fun and take care
