So, about the book!

Carving wooden bowls by hand may appear to be just a romantic notion (don’t worry, it’s that too), but there’s also lots to learn about this natural material and unique process that will undoubtedly serve you for every future woodworking project, no matter the tools or methods used. Bowl carving gives unparalleled insight to the basic properties of wood behavior, intimate knowledge of how tool edges interact with grain, and the importance of learning to reframe failure as one of the key steps of building deep understanding.

The Handcarved Bowl is the beginning of many projects, not just the three designs outlined here in step-by-step instructions, and both seasoned woodworkers and beginners alike will find the inherent value of carving using these methods. Along the way you’ll learn tips and tricks that will keep you safe, help you make informed decisions about your own designs, and give you the confidence to take your work in any direction you’d like.
