A couple of days ago, I made a miniature screw chuck and modified a cheap chuck that came with my lathe so I could turn miniature bowls like I would a normal-sized bowl. I turned a couple and wanted to try something harder. I am working on the March challenge, which made me realize that I am quite bad at copying shapes. I don't turn bowls much, so I considered Odie's bowls as a reference. I found a picture, took rough proportion measurements off my computer, and looked for wood. I found some mountain mahogany cutoffs, Persian ironwood, and something else that could be vine maple or some cherry branch. The details would be a challenge, however more so the placement and proportions than the details being clean.
