Perhaps using a sacrificial base ? Glue your blank to a piece of wood that the chuck will hold/ screw into. Turn the piece then slice off the base and throw it on the fire leaving a beautiful bowl with sides and a bottom so thin you can read the pages of a book through them .

No, Not Briwax.

Briwax is filth.

It was definitely friction polish, you can google for recipes.
