Power carving wood bowls from a live edge slab is easy as a beginner! Alright, now it’s time to actually create a project with power carving! A few days ago, we tried power carving out for the first time and were really impressed with how easy it was to pick up! This time, we are bringing out a live edge slab and transforming it into a large bowl!
Not sure where to start with power carving? Neither were we! Check out our tips and tricks videos so you can get into power carving without being nervous! (Link below under "Related Videos")
Anyway, we hope you enjoy this project and as always, let us know if you try this one out! Tag us @SpencleyDesignCo on Instagram so we can check it out!

I did my first wood carving back in 1970, using the first version of the Arbortech tool/disc on an angle grinder. Still got it and the sharpening stone (pencil shape). Some great tools out there for power carving.

[@siamaklighvani3951]

The angle grinder with its turbo carver , I should say that need special skill , so for the beginners you better use the scrap wood and make your skill to be built first , angle grinder is very powerful and shapes the wood easily but at the same time making mistake is going deep and misshapen the required structure. But many thanks regarding making holes , that helps a lot .

[@stanhutchins4365]

Just a little reminder: always use two hands firmly onto the grinder. Because all it takes is one kick back and that disc will leave you injured quickly. Nice job on the bowl.

[@jeffsherwin8898]

You and your girl look like lovely people please stay that way and seriously MASK UP lost a dear friend of mine through lung cancer caused by mdf particulates ,stay safe God bless Jeff Sherwin

[@rinzler9775]

The "chainsaw" angle grinder attachment is somthing I would never touch, but this turbo plane looks a lot safer.

[@dirtybaywoodshop-joeporter5650]

Another awesome project guys! I love how it turned out. I want to hazard a guess and say that the wood could be pecan, but I could be way off.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thank you! It’s funny, we’ve asked tons of people what kind of wood it is and we haven’t gotten the same answer yet 🤣

[@BRJR12341]

Check out the harbor freight version of the jaw horse, way cheaper and looks identical.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Yeah a couple other people recommended that. If we get more into power carving, that’s definitely something we’d consider!

[@jamesklein1022]

I think you're working with cherry on the inside of the bowl. You have a reddish colored wood that has the same color as Cherry as it should and on the outside is not the core. So you have a different looking wood on the bottom of the bowl just the way the log was cut. It also has the color of mahogany but I doubt that and it's a lot softer to work with than Cherry would be, but I think Cherry absolutely. By the way, I dig your product

[@littlebeebs1]

I have been looking for a video that I think was made by you two . It involved a special carving disc that made a cool texture in the wood, as if it looked like it had been scooped over and over again. Does that make sense? If that was you, can you please direct me to the video? I want to buy the carving disk that you guys used.thank you so much! Great video!

[@rickevans7941]

Looks like cottonwood to me aka black poplar in some places. I work with it for carving, wood sculpture and walking sticks. It's lightest of the hardwoods but not the strongest and sands poorly.

[@jamesklein1022]

I'm not pretty sure about the cottonwood idea. Cottonwood is usually white and it has grayish dark grayish patterns in it and it's kind of. I don't know the most unpreferred wood to build things from in my area anyway or my knowledge. We have a lot of cottonwood that grows around my area and I don't really see it but good guess it's got a reddish hue to it looks more like cherry. The colors on the bottom of the bowl would be from the outer layers of the tree and the reddish would be more from the inside the core

[@MartinMMeiss-mj6li]

Why would you assume people are AFRAID to do that? Maybe people prefer to do real carving, with gouges and adzes.

[@whatsgnu]

Great job! I like the template idea!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Glad to hear your enjoyed the video! The template made this soooo much easier to carve! I highly suggest it!

[@Matt-uj6jm]

Simplicity and utterly effective great video with and excellent finished piece 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@clarkhussey5865]

I found the best addition to the arbortech is a jaw horse. Great job

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thanks for the suggestion Clark! I bet something like that really helps orient the piece in a better way. Any specific one you recommend?

[@clarkhussey5865]

Spencley Design Co. I have the Worx Jaw Horse. Works (no pun intended) great! Pretty sure best prices were on eBay.

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Awesome! I might have to look into it if we getting into power carving more. I appreciate the tip!!

[@terpstra1brett]

I used a flap disk too and wow I think it’s a great way to do some finishing work before the fine sanding stage!

[@kalania14]

Do you need to use the board oil before using the conditioner or can you use the conditioner on its own as you did in this video...which by the way the bowl if gorgeous...I've been power carving the last several years and learn new things each time I do one. Aloha!!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

The conditioner on its own is just fine 👍

[@davidmcknight5850]

Just seen this and it looks like Hackberry wood because of the gray and other colors. Hackberry makes nice bows to shoot arrows.

[@drabusharr]

Seriously nobody does this except you? Video titles should be honest and not clickbaiting. The merits of the video speak to itself.

[@bootscooty]

Lol bunched panties alert

[@reloadNshoot]

Hmmm a cnc would make this so much faster for the bowl part. By node editing you can make organic shapes lol

Man that turned out awesome guys, nicely done really like the design too, it favors ambrosia maple some, the color really has a lot of character like maple 🤷‍♂️

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thanks Justin! Yeah, we are kinda leaning towards maple, but the jury is still out!

[@BruceAUlrich]

It looks like cherry to me. I think the bowl turned out nice!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

Thanks Bruce! We’ve gotten about 10 different species from here and Instagram...still no discernible winner 🤣

[@paulkramer4176]

yeah, cherry would be my guess. The heartwood color, the sapwood color, the grain characteristics (of what we can see) of the heart, all looks like Cherry. But we don't get a great look at the wood.

[@BadCompany410]

The “flap discs” those suckers are expensive..! Save your scraps you can make your own pretty easy. Especially if you save the same disc worn down. On many you can use some really good glue and stick your scrap sheets in between . Depending on your scraps you might It h A Be to glue a thin piece of something like card stock to the back of the sand paper to make it a little more thick. Buying a steal at like harbor freight for a belt sander that belt is super durable and many times super cheap. You can cut those to make Your own also. I get a pack of sand lapsed for my circular orbital palm, sander and because they have the velcro on the back I get full sheets of sandpaper that are usually about 1/4 the price and just some Elmer’s or wood glue from the shop and place the circles on the paper and glue them down and cut them out when their dry.. I don’t k lie about you guys but it’s just me in my shop. I have to find ways like that. God bless and be safe out there

[@michaelwillson6847]

Beautiful gonna start power carving myself I've got one the think it's a knock off of the cutsall wheel gonna try with that. Can I ask what thickness the stock was to start. The wood looks like sycamore. Did y find out? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍✌️

[@coltcash1123]

hard to tell on my phone, but i would say cypress, cherry or possibly a red maple

[@ABaumstumpf]

There is a simply reason why no wood-worker is doing this: These things are dangerous beyond believe! Many woodworkers have tried them out and most come to the same conclusion - it is not worth risking your live for being just a few seconds faster. And many of those woodworkers got to that conclusion by coming back out from hospital after their fingers or arm was sliced open, or as in still hundreds of cases the grinder climbed up their entire torso (while ripping it open). You know which part of a normal chainsaw is deemed the most dangerous and even chainsaw-sculptors will warn you against using? The tip of the blade. And these grinder-disks are nothing but that.

[@griffew81]

I was going to do this to carve a bowl, but I don’t think I am after numerous posts like yours talking about the dangers of doing this. What do you suggest instead? What’s a safe alternative?

[@ABaumstumpf]

@@griffew81 There are many dedicated tools for this. Still dangerous but not nearly as much is these chainsawdisks would be the bladed disks: They are kinda like rotating planes (the edges are on the flat side of the disk so no risk of it starting to climb on your body) And i personally would stick with the simple grinding disks: Metal disk with metal spikes on the flat side. They still remove the wood really fast.

[@jimbopetrella]

How do I layout my depth holes? Is there like a formula to use to design things with different steepness and stuff?

[@loboudl]

If it were me I would measure the height of the bowl and then figure out what depth from there you want to go from. Then measure your drill bit from the tip on how deep you want to go and put some tape on it as a guide for when to stop.

[@jamesklein1022]

To take your overall thickness of the material you're working with, decide the thickness of the finished bowl that you desire. Then the tape on their drill bit was a gauge for how deep to push the drill bit. So each hole is the same. It's really your preference and the type of material you're using to how thick or thin you would want it and also what it will be used for

[@mackenziemill]

possibly Butternut /also called white walnut

[@bkknivesbruceklawinski6886]

Looks like Sycamore

[@lazlokokolafix8952]

I agree - it looks like sycamore, but they would be wearing a respirator if it was. Sycamore is highly irritant to the lungs and esophagus. So my next guess is Celtis occidentalis (hackberry)

I know this video is years old, but if you don't know what species of wood it is, don't use it for food. Some wood is inherently poisonous and can kill you.

[@nnardo]

Just get a router & flush cut bit

[@jamesklein1022]

How are you going to get the rounded sides with the flush cut bit in a router? You would have to constantly be setting your depth over and over and you would have so many lines to sand out. You might go insane setting your depths that's why I wouldn't use a router for it now if it had a 90° angles on the edges of the sides of the bowl. Yep, I agree
