How Bowls are made
Bowls are made from Melamine resin which is resistant to temperature and/or humidity changes. The resin granules are weighed, heated with high freq radio waves until they become a soft malleable consistency. They are then placed in a moulding press. A computer controlled machine then carves the profile and the grips are machined in. The rings and emblems are also machined in and then painted. The bowl is then buffed up to a high polish.The next stage is to test them against a world master bowl to check they are a matched set. This is done by rolling them down a ramp to the same set position as the master bowl. All four bowls must end up in the same position on the mat to form a matched set.
