📐 Sizing Guide: How to woodturn and Fit the perfect Potpourri bowl

To create a clean, elegant fit for the 80mm lid, you need to turn a recess (rabbet) or a raised inner rim that securely seats the lid.

The key dimension for the lid is the underside flange or resting point, which is slightly less than 80mm (it sits inside the lip). For a snug fit, you’ll target an inner diameter just under the lid’s external measurement.

The Target Measurement

On the Lathe: Two Primary Methods

1. The Recess/Rabbet Method (Flush Fit)

This method creates a professional look where the lid sits almost flush with the top rim of your bowl.

1. Determine Bowl Wall Thickness: Ensure your bowl’s wall at the rim is thick enough—ideally at least 8mm to 10mm—to accommodate both the recess and a strong outer edge.
2. Turn the Inner Diameter: Using your parting tool or small scraper, turn the inside of the bowl down until you reach an inner diameter of 79mm. Use digital calipers to measure across the opening of the cut recess.
3. Turn the Depth: Turn the depth of this recess to match the thickness of the lid’s rim (typically 3mm – 4mm).
4. Test Fit: Crucially: Stop the lathe and test the fit before sanding the final surface. The lid should sit securely and not wobble, but you should be able to lift it out easily.

2. The Inner Raised Rim Method (Lid Sits on Top)

This is a simpler method where the lid rests on a slightly raised shoulder inside the bowl.

1. Turn the Inner Lip: After completing the main bowl hollowing, turn a clean, flat internal lip or shoulder that is at least 5mm wide.
2. Turn the Inner Opening: The opening below this shoulder should be turned to 79.5mm at the top edge. This creates a resting point.
3. Test Fit: Place the lid on the shoulder. The outer edge of the lid should sit neatly on the flat lip you created, centered over the smaller inner opening.

Pro Tip for Batch Production

To ensure perfect consistency when making multiple bowls:

• Create a Sizing Gauge: Take a scrap piece of wood and turn a tenon or dowel to the exact 79mm diameter. Use this physical gauge (instead of calipers) to check your recess on the lathe. If your recess fits the gauge perfectly, it will fit the lid perfectly.
