As a jam maker it rubs me up the wrong way.

What you dont lick the butter off the knife before plunging into the jam. :shock:

I don’t have butter on anything.

To put you lot out of your misery, the rough profile of the bowl was ground with a spherical ball cutter used in a Ax flexible shaft (https://www.axminstertools.com/heavy-du ... aft-910258) and it was very effective on such a hard wood:

The final semi-spherical profile was shaped and smoothed using a small pneumatic Kirjes sanding drum thingie:

The specialised sanding jobbies go from 80g, 150g and 320g so it was simply a case of fitting the appropriate one, giving the drum a squirt of air and jamming into the rough cut 'ole; the one on the bench has is the final one I used.
