    Hand carved trencher bowls

    Last week I started experimenting with making trencher bowls (also called dough bowls). The experiment is to see what will come from drying a green carved slab of wood indoors.

    Arbortech® rustic tree carvings

    As recently seen on Arbortech® Youtube channel, they featured a video on carving a small tree. So I thought I’d have a crack at it. I learned pretty soon that a dry piece of pine may not be the best material for the desired effect.

    Arbortech Turboplane Tool Review

    November 5, 2016 /

    Recently I tested out the Arbortech Turboplane power carver disc. It was my first attempt at using such a tool, so I didn’t really know what to expect. Safety equipment is mandatory for this type of woodworking.

    Wood you believe?

    I find that when I need to take my mind off of the day to day things, I go into the workshop. However with no power, there’s not a lot I’d like to do with manual tools. I do have my chainsaw, so I set about creating some wood chips.

    The missus was spying some of the hand crafted dough bowls on one of those picture gallery web sites today. I asked her if she wanted one and while she didn’t say yes, I assume she did. I’ve never made one… but there’s always a first time. Time to crank up the chainsaw.
