I haven't been convinced those Cole jaws are useful. Hopefully a more experienced turner can explain the pros and cons. I'll just note I've only noticed Cole jaws used in product demos and people demonstrating bowl turning all seem to use different solutions.
Typical bowl turning steps are face plate (on future inside) or between centers to shape outside of the bowl and create a tenon or recess at the base to clamp in a chuck. Then reverse the blank into a chuck to do the inside.
