Beautiful work and great quote. The crayon idea is also an excellent idea.

I also use business cards for zero clearance, but never thought of a magnetic one. What an excellent idea. SQ

Very cute, very unique, and very useful! Great job! SQ

Wonderful collection and workmanship. I too am amazed it was all done by hand. SQ

I didn't think you could fix it, short of cutting a new one - but you did. Way to go. SQ

Very nice job and the finishing is excellent! SQ

Very nice piece. I bet you have a few hours in that one. SQ

Very nice boxes! SQ

I absolutely love that design - and you did a fantastic job! SQ

Mike, That turned out really cute! What a clever idea! SQ

I really like the cat band! Excellent job and wonderful pattern. SQ

Brett, Thanks a bunch! SQ

Hunter2022, That's not a bad idea for someone that doesn't want to create the bowl slab. SQ

Thanks! SQ

amazingkevin, Thanks so much! You always say the nicest things. Cutting this out wasn't as bad as one might expect. I used a #9 regular skip tooth blade. But the sanding is a bit more tedious. I used a 60 grit sleeve on the spindle sander. I have a matching 15 inch bowl glued up and looking forward to cutting that tomorrow afternoon, after I get off work. Wood was 26 1/2 mm thick (just over 1 inch thick) and cut it at 34 degrees. I finished this with mineral oil. The glue up is on the edge grain, so they are built like a cutting board and then cut into the rings. The edge grain glue up method should make these bowls very durable and prevent warping. Interesting site: www.bowlmill.com Seems they use only USP grade mineral oil on all their turned bowls and kitchen products. I thought I would give it a try on this bowl. SQ
