Big (for me) bowl

As I said before I have very little time right now, and so tonight I decided to only throw 2 large bowls. This one is just under 16 inches wide and is the biggest I've thrown so far. I say I had planned to throw 2. But when I had thrown this one I couldn't get it off the wheel without taking off the splash pan, which I didn't want to deal with. The bat that I was using was exactly the same size as the wheel head so I can't really get a good grip on it with something so heavy on it. It's best to use a bat that is at least slightly larger than the wheel head so you can get a good hold on it.
