Here's the bowl with stain. Before shipping, I will add a wash coat of shellac and a coat of lacquer. Thanks for letting me jump into this one!!! To answer the earlier question about hollowing out the bowl, here's the tool I used. It's a Kutzall brand grinding wheel in my angle grinder. Also shaped the initial outside of the bowl with a flatter grinder wheel. These metal wheels are kind of expensive but last way longer than the paper and cardboard wheels available. If you really wanted to get all fancy you would probably want to turn the inside of a bowl like this on a lathe and get a really nice symmetrical bowl. Plus you could get a deeper cut inside than what I was able to do with the wheel.
