I'm in the process of making a side grain lidded bowl (8" x 3") from cocobolo. I rough turned it to about 1/4+" walls yesterday and brought it in to de-stress overnight. The bowl is fine but I have about 1/32" rock on the lid. The high point is predictably near were the pith was.
I didn't plan this out as well as I should have and gave myself a lot less slop for the final turning than I probably should have. The lid has a tenon to fit inside the bowl, with a shoulder that sits (and rocks) on top of the bowl rim.
I'm thinking I can remount and true up the shoulder flat again, but before I try this I'd appreciate some confirmation that this is the right way to go. Or if someone has suggestions, I'm all ears.
Thanks
Dick
