Default home made chuck for finishing the bowl base?

Hi,
Somewhere in this group I remember seeing a bit on holding the "lip"
of a bowl to finish turning the tenon etc. of the base. I"m using a
Talon 4 jaw chuck on a base tenon, but hate cutting/sanding off the
tenon after I've completed the inside/outside part of the bowl. If I
remember correctly it was a wooden addition/jaws set up to be used
with the 4 jaw chuck. It may have been a face plate/wood jaw device
also? I've tried searching this group but can"t find it. Any help
would be appreciated.

George has already given a link to the Longworth Chuck on my website.
I just put up a new review on the Rim Chuck being produced by Richard
Benham in Oregon. The link to this review is:

I've just tried this chuck and find it better than Cole Jaws or the
Longworth Chuck. It may be a bit pricey for many of you, but it is a
good solid chuck that is easy to use to turn the foot of a bowl.
