Okay, Carole - As promised, I did a wee bit o' pre-breathing today which allowed me to produce this thing. I had a chunk of Eastern White Cedar left over from a fence project that was roughly 2 x 4 x 9. No thought was given to form, just make shavings from an off center set up.
And this is what I ended up with. Turned it between offset centers to shape handle and exterior of "bowl" end; and then stuck the thing in the vac chuck to scoop out the bowl. No other tools used. Plus a bit of sanding by hand.

And while I'm here, been busy making a few more of these things too. Took your advice - they all began life as "I want to be just like the one on the right". Some succeeded, some did not.

I'll take some "real" photos later but wanted to share with ya'll now.
Happy Turkey Day everyone.
