My next bowl is mesquite, about 11-1/2" diam by 5" tall. I added a glue block with recess to the bottom and a faceplate to the top. It runs pretty true from both ends. It has a few hairline cracks into which I squirted some CA glue to hold it together. The end grain sections are very hard. I changed my recess angle to 10 degrees.
