Tried a new technique with these bowls that did not work out well. I tried to do them in mass a step at a time. This resulted in excessive cracking. Also, had the chuck inside the back of the bowls while turning the front. This resulte in one bowl with a large separation which I repaired and yet does not look good. So, I like trying new wood turning techniques and will go back to proven success actions for bowls. Three of the bowls are going to the thrift shop. Gary
