Handhewn bowls
are one of the oldest crafts known to man, but one which has been
almost lost. This book helps reverse that trend, reviving interest
by introducing the carver and woodworker to exciting new possibilities.
Using only hand tools, the bowl adze, a bowl shave and a carver’s
hook, Rip and Tammi lead the carver or sculptor through the steps
of this satisfying art. They begin with a blank and conclude with
an oil finish process that makes the bowls beautiful and safe
for use with food. Each step is illustrated in color, with a complete
description of design and technique concerns. Both the beginner
and the experienced woodworker will enjoy the creation of these
functional, beautiful pieces.
