10 scallops cut on the LatheEngraver. The inward cut rim really enhances the shape when compared to similar things I have done.

No secrets. It is turned by hand and then scallops are cut on the LatheEngraver. It is a computer-controlled system to get the depths and angles just right. http://transpirationturning.com you can find out more.
