They look lovely! I really need to keep you in mind for things like this.  What the biggest bowl you do?

i have lots of big lumps still to turn but i think the biggest i have will be a bit of walnut around 27" wide and roughly 4" deep.

 

here it is rough turned with my size 12 boot in the middle.

I can remember supplying an Elm wash basin, about 20 years ago, that a guy down in London wanted for his posh bathroom.

It had a lovely grain, not unlike walnut in some respects, about 18" diameter, with no surface treatment of any kind. Sadly have no contact details for the customer, to ask if it's still functional.

Not sure what effect soaps etc, would have on the bare timber tho.

Elm is supposedly stable in water -I believe roof gutters were even made with planks of it.

There should be some folk on here, up in Scotland or the North, that should be able to find a suitable diameter section, I would guess ?
