I made a dish and carved in the flat interior like you’re wanting to do (see here: Prints and Poop (Kimberly's Corner)). After making the bowl and staining it, I made the face design in Easel, centered around 0,0, then homed my spindle to the center of where I wanted the face to be. Before I carved I ran the simulation as a precaution, but I didn’t have to worry… the spindle never traveled so far that it could touch the sides of the bowl.
