Check out the lathe too. Isn't that a tractor sitting up top of those timbers???
Probably the power source for the 'lathe'.
What a picture! Outstanding!

Hi Don
Saw this picture last year I think on a Australian web site, I'll see if I can find it, what I recall of it is that they (wood turners group) made the bowl like a segmented bowl, used a farm tractor to drive the bowl with the rear wheel hub, there was also a picture of the turners group with the finished bowl.
have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo
