I just found out about a great shop called, "The Bowl Mill", where they make one piece hardwood bowls in sizes ranging from 8" to 20" in diameter on lathes that were designed and built in their hometown of Granville Vermont in the 1850's. The lathes they use every day were built after a fire consumed the original mill, in 1878. Their web site has an excellent online photo tour of the process of making the wooden bowls from green wood to a finished product ready for sale to the serious cooks around the country. They also feature a history of the mill, directions on how to visit and take their self guided tour, and even where people can buy their wooden bowls online.
