I've never seen a curved toolrest but I suggest you make a much shorter straight one. You will set it at the right angle to reach the bottom of a bowl and suppress any lever effect that could create vibrations.
Thanks for all the pictures, following your work is a pleasure.
By the way your tool rest will be quite uncomfortable to use. you shoud add a horizontal (rounded) part at the top
