I think it’s perfect. Consider making a stack of them for mise en place.

OP, for mise en place you might want to consider using maple if you have access to it simply because it's much less porous. Less splintery, too. Be that as it may, that's very cool little bowl.

What were the steps you took to make this?

[u/justjustjustin → u/Halfwaytoreality]

Normal bowl process using a tenon. Final step it’s to reverse into cole jaws and remove the tenon for a round bottom.

Hardest part is getting the outside profile right with the tenon there because you have to just imagine the curve on the very bottom. When the tenon is removed at the end the final profile should be a smooth swoop with no 'belly’ anywhere.

Enjoy it.
