Id left the piece to dry out in my workshop for around 1 year which im hoping is sufficient for a relatively small piece like this. To sand curved projects like a bowl or shallow dish i use the king arthurs tool guinevere sanding system.
Check out the full video below and make sure to watch all the other no lathe bowl videos on the youtube playlist.
How to make a wooden bowl without a lathe.
An inflatable ball will also do great for this step.
