Nice! Any hints as to how you created the spiral?

Calgary, Alberta,Canada eh!
Hi Barry,
I just based it off the method of Robert Craig from AAW August 2014 Pg 24. It is a glorified cone that works pretty well. The whole concept is rather interesting. Getting the glue lines perfect is key to a nice outcome.

Hi Paul:
You certainly have a very nice outcome! How do I go about finding this article - I'm a bit of a neophyte here. I'm adding this to my ever lengthing list of things to try out!
Cheers,

Nicely done Paul. The end result is an outstanding bowl for sure. I love the undercut rim; it works well with the twist!
 
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to check out the Robert Craig article. Your workmanship in making it so seamless (no glue seams, and even finish) is inspiring.
