Ahhh..!. the intermediary layout lines allow you to hollow out those "rows" 5:01 with less variance to the shape that you're searching for with the tool. I always end up chasing symmetry by eye and the final line, not thinking to work to a intermediary layouts line as I progress, instead of getting a weirder and weirder shape and balance that I eventually end up blowing out on spoons and leaving it too thick in the few bowls I've tried with just the small gouge that I have. God bless you and all the others who share their knowledge in person, in print, and digitally, as we're seeing the transmission shift from local/familial heritage, to print, to video. I've got a heap of Mother-in-Law cherry that I'm slowly working my way through and you just gave me another great piece of the puzzle! Now to convince my budget committee to invest in an adze.....

David, great video! Just bought my first adze, also a Karlsson. I was curious about the risk of swinging the adze in line with your thigh. We're always taught not to cut towards a body part. Of course, if your throwing the adze down towards the wood, the risk is lower, but do you have concerns that the cut will be shallow and the tool with glide along the wood and end up too close to a big artery in your leg? Is wearing a heavy leather apron advised? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills!
@DFbowlcarver7 жыл бұрын
I understand what you mean. In practice, I have never felt like there is a chance of that happening, based on the way the swinging motion feels. However, it probably is a good idea to take some precautions. One solution is to secure the blank to the bench and keep your legs off to the side. Your idea of a long and heavy apron would help too. For extra assurance, a pair of chainsaw chaps could be worn while adzing.

Thank you for your response...I won't be making the large bowls your making...to start anyway. What size it recommended for smaller bowls or will the 60mm work for smaller? Thanks.
@DFbowlcarver8 жыл бұрын
HK makes a 50mm with a regular arc (rather than flatter in the middle). That would be a good choice for smaller bowls.
@tonyy54827 жыл бұрын
Phil, I have the slightly smaller 5cm/600g HK adze David suggested & it sounds ideal for you. It is an excellent tool. It is not ideal for very big bowls/tough woods but, despite that, I have made some very large bowls with it, including a large bowl of (green/wet) English oak. My interest was always mainly in larger bowls so, in hindsight, I should have probably got the same 700g HK adze that Dave uses or possibly the even bigger & heavier single-hand Gransfor Bruk adze. Last year I bought a second adze, a big 2 handed 7.5cm width adze from Narex for bigger bowls & tougher woods -- it is a great complement to my 600g adze and I typically use both on each bowl. But I would recommend that you try to get one adze that will suit what you mainly do or expect to do - they are quite versatile. BTW When I started out, I asked Robin Wood about the difference between the 600g HK & 700g HK adze, he reckoned the difference between them was hardly noticeable, it terms of weight/effect. One other detail, the 600g adze's blade is pretty much a semi-circle in cross-section whereas the 700g adze has flatter section in the middle. The latter being better suited to larger bowls I think.

@DFbowlcarver6 жыл бұрын
The quality of the log is as important as the species. Look for a fresh green log that is knot free and with little/no twist to the grain. The species depends on where you live. In general, a soft to medium density hardwood is ideal. Birch, tulip poplar, aspen, cherry, soft maples, etc. Whatever comes your way. Each tree within one species can have a very different character as well. I've had cherry that carves like a dream, and other that has interlocked grain with a brash texture. Part of the adventure.
