It's been a minute since I've thrown large bowls. Took me a few tries to find my groove.

5 lbs of stoneware each. Wet size: 11" diameter by 5" high. About 15% shrinkage.

I'm always envious of folks on YT throwing 10 lbs or more to get really enormous forms. I don't have the hand strength to muscle around that much clay.

@LJ beautiful bowls! What is that wooden tool in the right hand side image, at the wheel?
@AasaMariaHedberg that's called a strong arm centering tool. I talk about it in the alt text of the photo.
