This looks a project that will keep you busy for a while.

And it looks pretty awesome if you ask me.

Serious question, watch the first part of that video. That's one big ass bowl, you have a good eye, what do you think he has in materials alone for that thing?

Looks like about 24" diameter and about 4" thick. So that's about 16-20 board feet of material (you have to account for having to start with raw lumber and cut it to the diamond shapes).

Looks like walnut, cherry, maple. Most expensive of those is walnut. About $8-$10/BF. So that's about $200 in raw materials. He'd be a fool to sell that for less than $800.

My lathe is limited to about 11" diameter bowls.
