Help needed. turned wooden bowls

[greatbear]

Hi all.
no doubt most of the skilled guys on here have seen my thread regarding shave soap.
my mrs and myself have been toying with the idea of presenting the soaps in small turned wooden bowls with lids if possible.
the amount needed depends on the demand for the pre filled bowls.
these bowls must have an internal capacity of about 100 grams of soap.
could any wood turner on here do these for us.

If no one comes forward, then pm me and I can recommend a local woodturner who makes spindle whorls for me for the kits that I sell at reenactors and craft markets.

cheers,
Toddy

thank you so much. id tried a local guy this morning and he was asking a price which was more like a phone number
id much rather the bowls come from a member on here but if like you say no one comes forward then I will get back to you thank you. GB

Doubt my skills on the lathe would result in anything you'd want to sell a product from lol. I'm sure there will be someone on here who could do it.

My bowls are not the cheapest and folk tend to buy them because they specifically want a bowl made on a pole lathe. If it's an add on to soap you probably want power lathe turned bowls. If you want good numbers of well made bowls with lids you need a good production turner Gary Rance is probably the best there is at that sort of thing. If on a tight budget or wanting low numbers then contact your local branch of the AWGB and you will find local amateurs happy to help.
