My pleasure Charlie, hope you're able to get something out of it,
I didn't learn much in the how-to's, as I'd already gotten much of that when I took my Jimmy Clewes workshop
But the amount of different styles bowls interested me the most, and must say, also confused me

ie. if you look at the shorter bowl, to me it doesn't represent the calabash look like the larger ones do, just seems like a nice curved bowl ............
another link you might enjoy, as it describes The Names of Various Kinds of Bowls and Their Uses from Hawaiian Calabash , pretty cool link and info .......

As for me, have one in the turning stages, will be a while before it's ready for any kind of viewing
like you, I work in a type of series, but just in wood species ......... going thru my Burls stage, always working on anything Spalted (just got some amazingly Spalted Hackberry)
next I want to dig into some Box Elder, and Walnut stock I've had sitting around.
Got a book recently, "Woodturning Evolution" by Nick Agar & David Springett that has great ideas on multi-axis wall hangings that I definitely want to try
(will have to check your gallery for the wall pieces)
and am also practicing some pyrography ....... only thing I haven't started yet is the carving
too many possibilities and ideas, and just not enough time (and I don't even have work as an excuse)
