While wood bowls are commonly made on a lathe, this guided resource offers 28 projects for crafting beautiful bowls with the more accessible scroll saw.
Making wooden bowls has always been considered a "serious" woodworking project because you need a lathe and woodturning know-how. But thanks to cake-decorator-turned-woodworker Carole Rothman, you can create amazing bowls, vases, candy dishes, and jars with just a flat piece of wood and your scroll saw.
Carole's easy-to-master techniques and clean patterns will quickly take you from basic bowls to beautifully laminated pieces. You'll learn how to work with thin wood, contour with sanding, and create a variety of different shapes.
Each project is organized in a progressive learning format: Beginning crafters can start with the most basic starter bowl and gradually work your way toward more elaborate bowls such as laminated swag bowls, a flared lobed bowl made with varied angles, a thin eight-segmented bowl, and an inward curving bowl.
Original patterns for other types of vessels include vases, a ginger jar, and a candy dish. For advanced wood crafters, an appendix expands upon the earlier material and pushes wood artists to create new patterns or adapt the existing ones to create art of your very own!
With Wooden Bowls from the Scroll Saw, creating beautiful bowls has never been easier! Packed with 28 projects to try, a useful guide on choosing the proper wood and supplies, and a section to help you create your own designs, this groundbreaking book is a must-have for any crafter or scroll saw enthusiast who wants to make stunning and useful works of art.
Surprise family and friends with gorgeous bowls from your scroll saw. They won't believe these bowls, vases, and jars were made without a lathe!
