Round bottom

Here you can appreciate the round bottom of a traditional Hawaiian Calabash. I do it the traditional way# no dimples or any flat surface at all.

This is a wonderful bowl with an extremely attractive shape. Thank you for showing the round bottom so clearly, Emiliano. Does this piece include the pith or are there 'knots' from branches showing?
 
Emiliano Achaval
I include the pith in a lot of my turnings, in the hope that they will crack a little and need a few pewa. Sometimes the bowl does not cooperate and doesn't crack... Adding pewa adds value to my turnings. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Aloha
