Those are very good points Cask thanks. I just realized last night that eventually cake will form and it will sit just fine.caskwith wrote:As for the sitting problem, as lons it sits at this stage, even if just barely, thats ok. By the time you have sanded and polished the stem some more, then added stain and wax to the bowl, a bowl coating as well maybe, it will be much more steady and then the customer will start smoking it which always makes the bowl heavier.
