bowl. if u ant to do it yourself shape the outsde roughly, use the saw (care) to remove the inside to about an inch and a half then let it dry. in a few months remove some more and finish with hand tools, sanders etc,. use calipers to check on the thicknes as its easy to go too far. im gona do a couple this year from oac, once i get my left hand bsck and working

I usually give my burrs and fruit wood etc to a turner mate he gives me something turned every so often as a thankyou
