Did this several years ago. I have no lathe, so this was more of a see how it works kind of thing. Started with a block of maple. You can see the process of turning it in the jig, raising the blade slightly each pass. Disclaimer: This process could be dangerous. You can make some handles of some sort to help hold it for safety. Basically turned it, cut off the corners and beveled the edges. After getting it sanded up with a coat of lacquer it looked a little plain, so I saw cut some grooves through the bottom and added some strips of Walnut for decoration. Now it sits on the end table and I usually have it filled with candies.
Figuring out how to do something you have never done is what makes a good challenge.
a good friend on another forum told me this should be removed immediately for the safety of others. i trust his "professional" admin judgement !!!! sorry buddy 😁😎
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
That was a clever idea. I know people make their own cove molding on the table saw, but I’ve never seen anyone make a bowl. The result is attractive, too!
Wow, that is an amazing bowl, and made on a table saw, just beautiful. And you covered yourself with a disclaimer about safety. Did you have another jig to cut the octagon for equal sides, or am I missing something? To early in the morning to wrap my head around that part.
As Ron mentioned, I have cut cove on a table saw. Just a lot of sanding after.

You should take a closer look Potz! Just take off the sunglasses😎. The saw blade is stationary. Then nothing can go wrong!😁
Here is another one that I made. (16") It's been beat up a little bit just from it's age. Alder and Walnut. I made the "funky" little finial on the drill press. I always said I will change it later, but later never comes. I turned it the same as I did the little bowl, I just offset the circle jig in relation to the blade.
