I have made a lot of bowls with a CM template kit I bought at Rockler. After I glue up my blank I rout the inside then I double sided tape the lid blank on. I finish sand the bowl and lid together, then I take it to my router table and put a round over on the lid before separating them. Then I separate them and use a straight bit to rout the inside. This is the safest way I have found.

Ps. The kit instructions say to glue up a solid blank then hog out the inside. This waste a lot of wood. I take my blank material and rough cut the center out of it. This way I have blanks for smaller bowl’s
