Woodturning a small hornbeam bowl

I made a small bowl out of a piece of hornbeam.
I first mounted the wood with a faceplate and turned the outside.
After I provided the outside with three burnt-in grooves and treated it with sealer, I reverse mounted it on a glue block.
When the glue had set, it turned out that the bowl was off center, so I removed it from the glue block and re-glued it to the glue block.
The second attempt was better but not good enough, and I decided to remake the outside.
So I turned the outside again and also burned the grooves in again.
Then I was able to hollow out the bowl and finish it without any minor setbacks.
I finished the bowl with woodwax.
The bowl has a diameter of 16 centimeters and is 4 centimeters high

Lovely looking little bowl Hans. I have no idea why it was off center. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

Hello Huw, I don't know why the bowl was off center, but there are a few possibilities that could have caused this: 1 I didn't align the headstock with a Lathe alignment tool. 2 There was sawdust between the bed and the tailstock 3 The adapter wasn't mounted properly on the live center

Looks good in spite of the problem you had Hans. Could it be the glue had cooled before you applied the block and it was a bit loose after flipping it ? What do you think happened ? Thanks for sharing. Take care. -Mike
