George Vondriska teaches you about the benefits of using a Modern Longworth Chuck System to finish the bottom of a bowl that you are turning on a woodworking lathe. The jaws help to better grip the bowl with a snug fit so that you can more easily craft the bottom of the bowl and get rid of that ugly tenon.

In the attached picture, would you make the top of the picture the bottom of the bowl?
Would you make the top of the attached picture the bottom of the bowl?
Hi Chris, It’s difficult to see from the picture which way the growth rings are pointed. On bowls I like to have the growth rings up, such that the rings look like a smile.
Hi, thanks for the reply. If the rings are shaped in the smile (like this sample) is the bowl bottom up or down?
Sorry for the slow response. I didn’t see your second question until today. The bowl in the picture above is sitting right side up, bottom down, as it’s shown.
