Product information
Carving bowls from wood is more than a romantic longing – bowl carving is a rewarding way to create individual and attractive wooden bowls. With your own hands and a limited number of hand tools. Working only with your hands and fresh, undried wood („greenwood”) provides both beginners and advanced carvers with an unparalleled access to the material of wood, its properties, and its behavior. Working with the grain, rather than against it – that’s the magic phrase. Learn how to approach the design of bowls to achieve the result you envision. Bowl carving is not just a book with precise instructions to mimic, but it opens up access to countless other projects and a new understanding of woodworking.
What’s inside the book covers:
- Step-by-step photos and instructions for each step in the carving process
- Guidelines on the basic bowl shapes that provide you with the knowledge to create your own designs
- Tips on the necessary tools: acquisition, sharpening, use
- Exercises and instructions to relax the particularly strained body parts – bowl carving can indeed be strenuous
- The necessary knowledge to procure the needed wood and to assess what is usable and what is not
From the design in your mind to the bowl in your hand
