If you leave it rougher (let’s say 80 grit) some of the grain doesn’t cut clean – lays down instead, and as it dries it makes the bowl look “fuzzy”. Getting it extremely smooth serves two purposes. After chipping out the bowl I sand it with 40 grit paper (inside and out) until all tool marks are removed, then follow that with 80, 120, and 220 grit. I try to think of everything I can to make it the best bowl that it can be. If you do this right the sides will flow into the bottom and this gentle curve greatly improves the usability of the bowl and helps the wrists of those using the bowl (especially for kneeding). Use your thumb and index finger as your depth gauges and be sure to BLEND the sides of the bowl into the bottom. Working in ever widening circles always helps me to keep the bowl the correct shape. This is the inside after you have removed all the wood.
Now with that being said - Here is the “step by step” – the way that I make a bowl. So – As the TV shows always say, “Please don’t try this at home”. It is hard – strenuous work and you are always just one “bad swing” away from destroying many hours of hard work or the possibility of severe personal injury. But I would add to this – the fact that I have performed my craft before millions of people, both on TV and the live crowds during my 10 years as a paid demonstrator at the NC State Fair – showing how it is done, but only had a couple of dozen who have actually tried the craft themselves after being shown (that I know of).
Getting tired while swinging a sharp tool is an easy way to drop the tool and experience severe cuts – don’t ask me how I know ! This alone should discourage most folks from trying it. So before I go any further let me post the following disclaimer/warning: Making a handmade wooden bowl is a process that uses extremely sharp tools for extended periods of time that could easily be from 6 hours to 12 or more hours. I know of no book or magazine that shows this process, and due to the good possibility of a serious accident that could easily result in severe injury – it may be a liability issue. * Shipping * WORLDWIDE SHIPPING -> $ 19.I often have folks asking where they can see a “step by step” directive of how to make a handmade wooden bowl.
