10 x 18 wood lathe big enough to turn bowls and stummels?

I'm very new to this and was wondering if this grizzly lathe would be big enough to turn bowls and stummels? I already purchased a metal lathe to do other things on, however its only 7x14 and not big enough for anything but small straight pipes.

thanks for your help

That will work just fine. You'll need a chuck and jaws to turn stummels. If you don't have $500 to spend on a Trent Rudat chuck, the aluminum jaws from SmokingDawg on the forum will do just fine with a oneway chuck.
