Well, I've taken the bischofia bowl out of the dry box and it looks good. It's still round and there are no cracks:
The foot of the bowl did shrink a little and the Nova chuck didn't quite fit into the recess you see in the photograph so I got one of my carving gouges and gently whittled away a bit until the chuck jaws fit inside:
So I finished hollowing it out and turned the exterior of the bowl a little and began sanding it and here it is at present:
It has the usual end grain problems to deal with and since it's a coarse wood, it will need a fair amount of smoothing which I'm going to mostly do today.
I'll be back in several days with completion photos and final notes on the project.
