Making a wooden bowl without a lathe - Woodcarving

 




























Tools and materials:

Carving tools set

Carving mallet

Cabinet Scraper set

Cordless chainsaw

Skil electric planer

Spoke shave

Flat rasp

Flat file

Random orbit sander

Mineral oil


In this video I make a wooden bowl out of a piece of pine I had in the shop. Despite the fact that it was pine, it was pretty hard to carve. 


First of all I used a compass to establish the main diameter of my bowl. Then I drilled my depth hole in the centre. 


Using a big gouge I started hollowing the bowl. Once in a while I added lines to carve the bowl in segments. This way I had a little better control over the shape I was going for. 


I used a round scraper to clean the tool marks although later on I decided to add more character in the interior with a gouge. 


I used my chain saw to remove as much material as I could from the exterior of the bowl. 


Next I used an electric planer to shape the exterior as much as possible. 


To clean the lip of the bowl I used a spoke shave. 


I finished shaping with a rasp, a file and my random orbit sander. 


I decided to add some character in the interior by leaving the gouge marks.


Finally I finished the bowl with mineral oil. 


My bowl came out really unique. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
