Great video. I think this dough bowl is what your channel is all about. Start with and idea, get the material (a log), and the creating your vision. When I was a little kid my mom took a carving class. They gave her a block of wood and the instructor said, “ remove anything that doesn’t look like duck”. Watching you and Jen was a lot of fun to watch and hope you do more projects together. Thanks for sharing and happy April!

Thank you so much for this brilliant video - really enjoyable to see this done the good old way with regular hand tools and not powertools. 👍🏻 Ten thumbs up! Also love the suttle ironic twist by the gentle giant - wearing a DeWalt sweater while working as fast or faster with hand tools than most of us can manage with powertools. 😄👍🏻

[@christineb8148]

Man, I have wanted a dough trough forever- that thing is really lovely! Body mass makes a difference with at least some hand tools. I know it's easier for me to get into and through, say, a large wheel of aged gouda than a smaller person because I can lean into the wedge of the blade and use my weight to move it through the cheese. So no being hard on yourself for those planes being harder for you to use.

[@my.6hann3l]

that´s amazing anne, it´s extremely interesting to see how those things were made back in old days...

[@trimbaker1893]

My father was kind enough to keep me busy throughout my childhood. He knew it would help me be the strong and generous man I am today, having learned to work hard and enjoy a good apatite every day. When I learned how to split wood, there was much to do. we burned around ten full cords every winter. Dad would cut the trees and I would go into the woods and split the rounds. I was only allowed to take two wedges and the sledge and an axe. the third wedge stayed in the sacred place dad could only touch.... if I got both of my wedges stuck, I had to come back to the house and get dad to bring the third wedge and free the ones I had got stuck. To this day, I can split an amazing amount of wood by myself. I am 61 now and there is a proud glimmering shine on my six pound maul and I cut and split around a dozen cord each year. sometimes more. I have never had any problem with the mushroom on the wedge. hit it in the center like you mean it and it will never hurt you....unless the wood is frozen. then the wedge will spit straight up into the air sometimes. I like your stuff. George.

[@donna1018]

[@lynxg4641]

Anne, such a great video, so light hearted and yet so on point. I'm a straight up self powered tool guy, no power tools at all, but yes, doing stuff like this will make you appreciate the easier ways of doing things and what those who came before us had to deal with on a daily basis. Can't wait to see what it looks like in a couple months and what the final weight is, also, weird that you hadn't heard of these before.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I’m so excited to see how it turns out too! Funny story that didn’t make this edit- this was actually the second bowl in a week that we took on. We were sore before we started and… well, things just got worse hahahaha

[@GWPHomestead]

Another really fun video! I call Jeb for my tug-of-war team.

[@robohippy]

I turn a lot of bowls. I once turn them and let them dry. The more they warp, the more I like them. I would never attempt to dry a bowl in wet shavings as the wood will want to mold. Maple, because of the sugar in it is one of the worst. I would guess that the piece you have is tulip poplar. Make sure to put a 1/4 round profile on all of the edges. Any kind of 'sharp' edge is far more prone to cracking. I do take a lot of my bowls, again not the maple, and use some stretch film around the edges. A little compression, and the vulnerable edges are more protected. There are several walnut oil products specifically for bowls and 'treen' ware. The walnut oil will polymerize at room temperatures and with some sun light. They are heat treated to remove the proteins that may cause nut allergies. I use The Doctor's Woodshop stuff. Mike Mahoney is another source. I have wanted to do one of this style of bowls. Some day.....

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I turn a lot of bowls too. Putting them in with the shavings in a paper bag is key to a slow, even dry. Plastic bags do cause mold. The key difference with this project as opposed to my lathe projects is that I turn my bowls pretty thin so warpage can and will happen however it’s going to happen. I agree, it adds to the beauty. But with as much material as is still here, cracking would definitely happen before warping, as there’s still so much mass that tension will break (crack) before bending. Great point about the hard edges. The same is true with green carving. And I use walnut oil on my eating implements as well, I’ve probably finished 1500 spoons with the stuff at this point, and still zero complaints :)

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Oh and I just realized the motivation for mentioning the walnut oil may have been the butcher block conditioner I was adding at the end- that was a further attempt at preserving the wood from cracking/molding. It is in hopes that the citrus and wax combo in that product does it’s thing, to my benefit.

[@toolzshed]

Great video. Give "china markers" (the one with the string you pull to tear away the coiled paper around the wax crayon inside to "advance the drawing edge", or Sharpie PRO markers ("made for wet or oily surfaces") for marking the wet, green wood. They have been a game changer for me.

[@xenomorph_lv-4262]

Watching you splitting that log got me thinking about this ad for a cone-shaped screw type log splitter. prob'ly not as slick as they make it seem, but, the theory's sound, in my mind, any way. A blacksmith could forge the cone from large round stock, might want to forge in a square or hex drive end in to, use small round stock for threads, a little filing, a HD cordless impact driver, and,,,,Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma'am,,You're Heatn'-n-Cookn' with Wood Now! There! Just one more thing on the to do list for an Aspiring Blacksmith, such as yourself! No Need to Thank Me, I'm Here All Week!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Oh yeah I’ve seen those and they don’t work quite as well as one might hope. As far as the struggle goes, that was half the fun. Splitting big stock isn’t actually much of a challenge for me, I do it quite regularly prepping spindle stock for chairmaking classes, but in the video Jeb showed me a really cool “trick” I was stubbornly wanting to see work. Normally if I’m struggling, another wedge makes quick work of the split.

[@s-c..]

It’s too early on a Sunday morning for me to reason out, so here’s my dumb question - why do you make it with the heart wood (?) at the bottom when it’s already almost bowl-shaped the other way around? Is it stronger that way? And you mentioned butcher block oil in another answer - so that’s what you rubbed on it? Also, an Anne video first thing in the morning is a grouse way to kick start a day : )

right now my two favorite tools are my shipwrights foot adze, ( which I bought at a yard sale, the lady said it were a really good ramp digger) she wanted five dollars, I gaver her twenty and a hug, and my coopers adze. its not really a coopers adze but it is smallish and has a nice heft to it and I found it in an obscure location, in the woods, with my metal detector.

[@dragoncarver287]

I wonder what the wood is for one. When trying to chop out the center, use the axe in one hand and a hammer or the other axe as a hammer and try to be a bit more accurate in the chops and cuts. Might be safer as it is controlled. That's 2. 3. Are you limiting yourself to human powered tools. I would have done the first vertical cuts with a circular saw. I want to see it actually being used. Wondered about using one myself.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It’s poplar. We also made one out of cherry earlier in the week. Yes, for this project, trying to stay true to historical standards just for the challenge of it. As far as axes as hammers or hammers on axes, metal shouldn’t strike metal in these circumstances. A wood or rubber mallet, perhaps, but though it may not look it, there’s quite a bit of control swinging the axe this way. In three months, when it’s dry, we’ll use it for a pizza party and bring you along for the ride.

[@dragoncarver287]

@@AnneofAllTrades I guess it would be better to use cheap wood and figure out the process rather than expensive black walnut or cherry. I wouldn't use poplar for a cutting board because it's soft and porous. Looking forward to seeing it used.

[@sand_creek]

​@@dragoncarver287 Yellow poplar or gum is traditional for these dough bowls. Especially around the Appalachia's. It's a different type of woodworking and not many people do it the way I do because it is very labor intensive. The methods I use were passed down to me by my father and he learned them from meeting people who were 3rd and 4th generation and still practiced this art. Woodworking from this region was not like other areas. They did what they had to so they could survive. In that sense things were very primitive in comparison to other areas or regions. Its an area not known for beautiful dovetails and crown molding. It's known for hand hewn logs and beams rough sawn boards. The finish on everything still has the markings from every step taken to get to where it is. Just like the logs in our cabins tell the story of adze and axe. This bowl will tell the story of hatchet, plane, and adze.

[@dragoncarver287]

@@sand_creek Very interesting. Thank you. Isolation and finances often dictate that you "work with what you got!"

[@AnneofAllTrades]

one benefit of living where we do is that green wood of many desirable species like poplar, walnut, cherry, etc is prevalent, and serious wind storms knock trees over and provide plenty of free wood whenever you want it if you've got a chainsaw and a truck.

You didn't say what species of tree this bowl came from. Let me guess.... Tulip Tree? It looks just like the Tulip Tree back and sides I just started preparing for another Acoustic Guitar build - even down to the black lines showing up from the spalting.
