At least with logs and salad bowls. A large log section allows for quarter-sawn blocks to be roughed out which means finished turnings are far less likely to crack. They remain green for a longer period so they cut a lot easier. For end grain there is no pith to contend with and cross grain pieces can distort and remain stable.
The salad bowl has nearly finished moving and the rim measures 12" at the widest and 10 1/4" at the narrowest. Finished with walnut oil

The salad bowl is sitting on our counter, filled with clementines. I'll send you a picture Billy. Every time someone walks past they stroke it. It gives us pleasure just to see it. Thank you for making something so utterly beautiful.
