How do you suggest trimming the foot when the rims are altered like this?

[vangilderpottery]

@waltpark Hi Walt - throw a chuck to trim the bowls. Check out my comment in 'Landscape-Rim Teabowls' for a detailed explanation on creating it. Thanks for watching.

Hi David - each bowl here is 1.5# but you can use these altering techniques on any size bowl you make.
