There are several ways I like to end my bowls. One way is to make a small medallion (like the center) and have it spin off down the side. I tack it in place. My favorite way is to tack the end and make small arcs with the rope tacking evenly around the top. The arcs don't always lie evenly around the top so be sure to pin first then tack the side of the rope that lays down. I have even made tops for my bowls. By making a large flat disc and straight not curved sides.
