Power Carving a Cedar Bowl

[@chompers11]

Beautiful work that ball gouge looks so fun!! Thanks for sharing

Cedar s my favorite to make bowls.

The only thing I suggest is to buy yourself a jawhorse. Being able to hold your piece securely isn't just for safely, but you'll have a lot more control. When dealing with these kinds of tools you need both hands on the powerful spinning cutting grinders that could end in missing digits if you're not in the peak of control

[@chompers11]

Hook me up with a jawhorse boss I do the same kinda work but cant afford one :/ I just use the tools I have ya know

[@kennethcaine3402]

You could make something cheap that would work fine so don't make excuses.

In s bowl that large, instead of the axe, use a small diameter circular saw or like some here suggested, use a Graff Speed Cutter(somewhat tricky though).

[@sheikhkhalid5969]

The bowl is beatiful

[@sheikhkhalid5969]

Screw in wedges on the both sides of the block(bowl blank), it will keep it from rocking so much.

Use the front tip of the arbortech turboplane to make contact, safer reactions.

[@stevesundberg5956]

Friendly tip. Let that chainsaw warm up for a little bit before you throttle up. I learned the hard way on how fast it damages a saw motor. Saw will last longer and preform better. Love your work, Cheers.

Looks incredible, awesome work! When you finish it with oil, can you still smell the cedar?

[@chompers11]

It fades over time

Looks great! I’m surrounded by red cedar here in the Missouri Ozarks

Ficou muito linda sua fruteira. Parabéns. Você poderia me dizer o nome desta ferramenta de bola que você usou na Esmerilhadeira? Pra eu tentar comprar. Gratidão

Found you through Instagram. Do you have any videos using the hobo reel? Would like to get one and do a couple videos on it

[@jeghedderhenrik]

you should try with the graff speedcutter, then you didnt need to start out with the axe before going to the power grinder, its faster and easier with the graff, trust me

[@axeandturtle]

smell good!!
