Nice bowl Dave. The live edge makes it look more organic. As for soup, just tell her not to fill it up so full. You can always get seconds.
I'm working my way towards trying to turn a bowl. My mother asked for a yarn bowl for Christmas. Probably won't make it by then, but maybe by her birthday in September. I'm still trying to master turning handles for chisels, screwdrivers and all the Rockler kitchen utensil kits.
