                      :biggrin: I would have preferred a shallower bowl but they didn't have any in my price range.

                            I'm selling these bowls at £3 each at the moment.

                            They'll very soon fill out. 150 mm diameter.

                            I can bring some up to Shineyland if anyone is interested :spinning:
