I'm a spigot man myself. I think the important thing though is design and the biggest problem with a recess is that it is very restrictive with your design. A spigot is easily removed or changed to suit the design.Remember you are the boss, not the bowl, the chuck or the lathe, YOU!!
Something to bear in mind, as this question relates to the competition, a bowl with a recess left in compared to a bowl with a neatly finished bottom..... I know who would win if I were the jugde....
Are the judges alowed to ask for more photos by the way? As in, there is no hiding a badly finished bottom just because you didn't take a photo?? :wink:
Cheers

P.s I have photos (and have posted before) of my very cheap and simple bowl reversal technique. I'd be happy to post again if anyone missed it!!
