This is so cool, Tom! I’m guessing it started as a vase and you sawed it in half and glued at the rim? Did you carve the flutes before or after splitting? Just trying to wrap my head around it

Thanks, Michael. This is known as a simple split-bowl (or split-turning) inspired by my first woodturning hero back in the '80s - Stephen Hogbin. Turned as an endgrain open vessel with coves (flutes) then bandsawn in half and glued back together. Here is another in my album. I may post another old one soon.
(2014) Walnut ~ 10” long x 8¼” wide x 4” high. A split-bowl form textured on rim and interior with various size ball cutters/burs and a knurling tool on portions of the exterior & interior surfaces. Finished with Velvit Oil and Antique Gold...
Thanks for the information Tom. That all makes perfect sense. I like how you masked the seam with the texture and paint. Also, the finish on that walnut bowl is so nicely done.
Stephen Hogbin is a legend. I first saw a photo of one of his raised bowls a while ago in Ellsworth’s book. That was just the beginning—I was blown away when I looked up some of his other pieces. Split turnings would be fun to explore in the future. I’m short a bandsaw at the moment haha.
